It will be one of the most star studded movie projects ever and we have the first images to prove it: THE BEATLES A Four Film Cinema Experience will see Paul Mescal starring as Paul McCartney. Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. It will be a long wait, though, because the four films directed by Sam Mendes, each from the perspective of a different Beatle, are set to be released on the same day - 7th April 2028. The stellar cast also includes Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Harry Lloyd as George Martin and David Morrissey as Jim McCartney. Leanne Best will play Mimi Smith, Bobby Schofield will play Neil Aspinall, Daniel Hoffmann-Gill will play Mal Evans, Arthur Darvill will play Derek Taylor and Adam Pally will play Allen Klein. Each of the four movies will tell the story of one of the famous music group members and will be, strangely enough, released at the same time. Who do you think will be most popular?
