Акторський склад серії фільмів про The Beatles / Sony Pictures
Director Sam Mendes introduced the cast of the upcoming film adaptation of The Beatles and announced the premiere date.
The story about the legendary British band will be told in 4 films at once and all of them will be released in April 2028. In fact, each of the films will be dedicated to a separate «Beatle», while the roles are distributed as follows:
Mescal is best known for the movie «Gladiator 2», where, by the way, Quinn («Strange wonders»), Keoghan received an Oscar nomination for «Banshee Inisherina», and Dickinson recently starred in the erotic thriller «Good Bad Girl» with Nicole Kidman.
The official title of the upcoming film series is — The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event. They will be directed by Sam Mendes, who made his directorial debut in 1999 with «American Beauty» (five «Oscars», including Best Director) and later directed two James Bond films.
«I tried to make a movie for years, but I finally gave up because I thought the story was too big for one, and the TV series was not considered right enough,» the director says. «There has to be a way to tell an epic story for a new generation… I can assure you that there is still a lot left to explore, and I think we’ve found a way to do that».
Mendes added that the main filming will take a year. The four-part film is also the first feature-length work to be granted the rights to the music of The Beatles’ extensive catalog of hits, such as «Strawberry Fields», «Let It Be», «I Am the Walrus», «Yellow Submarine» and many others.
