Sony Pictures and Sam Mendes have announced the actresses who will portray the women behind The Beatles in The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, set to premiere worldwide in April 2028.
These women were pivotal in shaping the personal lives of Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison, whose relationships unfolded behind the scenes of the legendary band.
This will be the first authorized scripted film project by Apple Corps Ltd., the company formed by The Beatles in 1968, featuring full access to their music and life rights.
“Mendes’ ambitious project will unfold across four separate feature films – one from the perspective of each Beatle – intertwining to tell a unified narrative of creativity, fame, friendship, and fracture.”
The four films are produced by Neal Street Productions, led by Sam Mendes, in partnership with Apple Corps for Sony Pictures. Producers include Sam Mendes, Pippa Harris, Julie Pastor, and Alexandra Derbyshire.
