Beatles Biopics Set for 2028, Producer Outlines Release Strategy
Pippa Harris said audiences should see all four Sam Mendes Beatles films in cinemas within the same period, with the shoot on day 180.
Producer Pippa Harris discussed the release strategy for Sam Mendes' four Beatles biopics during an industry talk at the BFI London Film Festival, according to Variety.

The project is titled 'The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event'. Each film will be told from the perspective of a different band member.
Paul Mescal plays Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn plays George Harrison, Barry Keoghan plays Ringo Starr and Harris Dickinson plays John Lennon. Harris said the shoot was on day 180 at the time of her talk.
