- Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn, and Harris Dickinson were spotted filming a recreation of the opening chase sequence from Richard Lester's 1964 'A Hard Day's Night' for the four-part Beatles biopic, per TMZ images.
- Paul Mescal joined the cast last month to recreate the 'Abbey Road' album cover, with Mescal cast as Paul McCartney, Quinn as George Harrison, Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Dickinson as John Lennon.
- "The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event" will feature four films each centering on a different member of the band, per the official logline: 'Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.'
- The supporting cast includes Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, and Harry Lloyd as George Martin.
- All four films are slated for simultaneous theatrical release in April 2028.
Why it matters: The Beatles biopic commits to an unprecedented four-film theatrical rollout in April 2028 — one movie per band member — a distribution structure unmatched by prior music biopics. The deep, star-laden supporting cast locked in this early signals producers' confidence in commercial scale.
