Sam Mendes is not just filming a biography; he is constructing a cinematic universe where four legendary perspectives collide to redefine the legacy of the Fab Four. This ambitious project, The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, promises to dismantle the traditional biopic structure by giving each band member a dedicated feature film to tell his own truth. The scale of this production suggests a monumental shift in how musical histories are presented to global audiences.

The production has officially expanded its roster to include pivotal figures who shaped the personal and creative lives of the band.

These actors join a massive undertaking that is currently filming across the United Kingdom for a scheduled theatrical debut in April 2028. The latest additions to the ensemble of The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event include:

Harry Lawtey as the original bassist, Stuart Sutcliffe. He captures Sutcliffe during his tenure as the original bass player before he departed the group to pursue painting in 1961.

Farhan Akhtar as the sitar maestro Ravi Shankar. Shankar was the musician who famously introduced George Harrison to Indian classical sounds.

Lucy Boynton as the influential actress Jane Asher. Jane Asher was the fiancée of Paul McCartney who inspired several of the most famous melodies in their discography.

Morfydd Clark as John Lennon's first wife, Cynthia Lennon. Clark explored the complex early years of John Lennon's domestic life before his transition into a global icon.

The Holy Trinity of Screenwriting Unites for Sam Mendes’ Epic The Beatles Biopics

The central cast of the four musicians features a powerhouse line-up of rising stars ready to lead the narrative.

The original group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, four young men from Liverpool who revolutionized popular culture. Their synergy transformed them from a local club act into a global phenomenon that dictated the fashion, politics, and sound of an entire generation.

Each member brought a distinct personality and talent that balanced the chemistry of the collective unit. From the songwriting mastery of the Lennon-McCartney duo to the spiritual depth of Harrison and the rhythmic reliability of Starr, their influence remains unparalleled.

This project marks a historic milestone as Apple Corps Ltd has granted full life story and music rights for the first time. Sam Mendes will leverage this unprecedented access to ensure that the music and the personal journeys of these four icons are authentically preserved.
