Last photo of the Beatles together |
Four films about The Beatles are scheduled to be released in 2028. A biopic on the historic English rock group has been labeled 'the first bingeable theatrical release',
"We need big cinematic events to get people back into cinemas" says Sam Mendes, who is directing the four films. Mendes, whose prior films include 'American Beauty' and 'Skyfall', has long wanted to bring the Beatles to the big screen.
The films will be told from the perspective of each band member and will try and capture the improbably journey of four teenagers from Liverpool, England to the center of global pop culture.

Musicmaking - and changing the world culturally |
This whole project is a big bet as far as film production and distribution, but I suspect that there are many people from the sixties thru the two-thousands who will embrace this biopic.
Considered the most influential rock band of all time, the Beatles sold over 600 million albums and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. the Fab Four still have a huge fan base and I know I'll be at the cinema in 2028 to watch all four films.

Promoting 'Sargent Pepper' a transition rock album |
The Beatles disband in 1970, and all moved on to successful solo musical careers. In 1980 John Lennon was assassinated in NYC, in 2001 George Harrison died of cancer. Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are alive and hopefully will be able to view this biopic.
