The four members of The Beatles - Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - are to be the subjects of four separate biopic feature films, directed by Oscar-winning English director Sam Mendes.
The bold and ambitious project, financed by Sony Pictures Entertainment, is the first time that The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. have granted permission for a film-maker to use full life story and music rights for scripted films, each of which will be told from the individual band member's own perspective.
“I’m honoured to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time,” Sam Mendes states, “and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies.”
