Sam Mendes showed up toward the end of Sony‘s CinemaCon presentation to reveal details of how his four Beatles movies will go down. All four will come out in April 2028 in what is the first “bingeable moment in cinema” said Mendes (Sony Motion Pictures Boss Tom Rothman’s words). Mendes also confirmed the cast, which we all know: George Harrison is Joseph Quinn, Paul Mescal is Paul McCartney, Barry Koeghan is Ringo Starr and Harris Dickinson is John Lennon.

Mendes wouldn’t confirm which order the movies would rollout. He also mentioned that it would take him more than year to shoot all four movies. “I’m getting Avatar flashbacks” jokingly cried Rothman.

Said Mendes, the Beatles “redefined the culture and stayed with you for a lifetime” calling them perhaps “the most significant band of all time.”

“I had been trying to do a film for years, but I finally gave up” because he felt the “story was too big for one film” and a TV series didn’t seem quite right. “There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation… I can assure you there is still plenty left to explore and I think we found a way to do that.”

The actors then quoted “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” saying “It’s wonderful to be here, it’s certainly a thrill, you’re such a lovely audience, we’d like to take you home with us.”

Ugh. Sam Mendes. The Beatles. Gouge my eyes out now.

It’ll be an overwrought mess with transparently obvious symbolism and themes that Mendes uses to beat the audience over the head.

Will there even be movie theatres by then?

People hardly go to the theaters now as it is instead waiting out the usually short window until it gets to streaming . And that’s for one movie.

To expect people to pay tickets for 4 movies all packed together like that. Bold strategy

Yeah i dont understand this. The horizon trilogy sure changed their mind quickly after the first movie didnt sell enough tickets to justify releasing the 2nd before people could watch the first on streaming.

Yeah I feel like this needs to be released quarterly. Give everyone 3 months to see each movie or have time to catch up in between.

Why even assign a month when it’s 2028

This is stupid. They don't even look like the Beatles.

Who will play Pete Best?

One of them looks a lot like John, but I agree on the others.

Completely agree. I'm a huge Beatles fan but this strategy has me concerned.

I give it less than a 25% chance of theatrical releases.

They all look reasonably enough like their counterparts, but these 4 were picked not to be look alikes but because they are all reasonably talented actors.

Keoghan as Ringo is great. Mescal and Dickinson are the big ones playing John and Paul. They have to be great.

Hell, the last video I saw of Ringo really belies his age and he looks fantastic for a guy 84 yrs. old.

Let him grow out his hair and play himself.......

Mescal is pretty talented, IMO.
