Beatles BiopicS

Post by edwin drood »

British filmmaker Sam Mendes plans 4 individual biopics on The Beatles, one film per musician. 2028 spring release planned.

I have this pathological hangup with biopics that I can't get over the actors not looking almost at all like the real people they're playing...

So this one's gonna be a tough sell for me (except for maybe Keoghan as Ringo... that nose will play).

But the whole concept of the quadrilogy seems misguided... I like the Beatles probably more than the average person, yet still not enough to watch 7-9 hours of them from each of their perspectives. How much dramatic tension can the Ringo Starr story have anyway?

The George-banging-Ringo's-wife storyline that takes place around the end of the Beatles years may be interesting, but a good director knows the climax of the movie should be his starring role in Caveman.
