Four separate feature films are in the works, each focusing on a different member of The Beatles - John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Director Sam Mendes plans to create these movies from each band member's perspective, with the narratives intersecting to tell the story of the iconic band's journey leading up to their breakup in 1970.
The life story and music rights for the scripted films have been granted by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of the late John Lennon and George Harrison. Sony Pictures Entertainment will finance and distribute all four films theatrically in 2027, promising an innovative and groundbreaking release strategy.
