The tumultuous and transformative 1960s, marked by the musical storm of 'The Beatles,' will be explored in four separate films, each focusing on the individual life stories of the band's members. Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr will each have their tales brought to life on screen.
Renowned director Sam Mendes, known for his work on Oscar-winning films like 'American Beauty,' 'Road to Perdition,' '1917,' and 'Skyfall,' will be orchestrating this cinematic journey. Mendes expressed his honor and excitement about narrating the story of the greatest rock band of all time.
