The first look at Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn in Sam Mendes’ The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event has been revealed.
The Beatles biopic images were shared by Sony Pictures UK as postcards. The postcards were provided to the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, which was co-founded by Paul McCartney.
In the images below, Mescal is seen as Paul McCartney, Dickinson as John Lennon, Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Quinn as George Harrison. The project is a four-film Beatles biopic series, with each film focusing on a different band member.
Directed by Sam Mendes, The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event is an upcoming series of four films exploring the lives and careers of The Beatles. The scripts are being written by Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan, Jack Thorne, and Mendes.
