The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event is one of the most ambitious creative projects in the history of Hollywood. While we normally are focused on the more immediate, like the 2026 movie schedule, director Sam Mendes has taken on a challenge so huge that we're talking about it in length, despite still being about 19 months away from being released.
