Fans of the Beatles will have the opportunity to experience four biographical films depicting the lives of each band member when the productions are released in April 2028, according to producer Pippa Harris. Speaking at the BFI London Film Festival, Harris, co-founder of Neal Street Productions alongside director Sir Sam Mendes, emphasized the collective impact intended by the separate narratives.

The project, which is currently in its 180th day of shooting, features Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Each film focuses on the perspective of one Beatle, with storylines expected to intersect and overlap throughout the series.

Harris expressed hope that audiences will watch all four films within a similar timeframe to fully appreciate their combined effect, but she did not anticipate viewers seeing them consecutively in a single sitting. Instead, she suggested a flexible viewing schedule, such as one film per week or multiple over a short period, all while maintaining a theatrical experience.

This project represents a first in Beatles filmmaking, as all four members and their estates have granted full life story and music rights to Neal Street Productions for these scripted films. Harris highlighted the significance of this unique agreement, noting the Beatles' standing as "the greatest band in history," and the importance of doing justice to their legacy.

Sir Sam Mendes described the planned release as the first “bingeable moment in cinema,” aiming to attract audiences back to theaters through a major cinematic event. He has previously indicated a desire for such large-scale projects to counteract declining cinema attendance.

Harris also reflected on the challenges facing original filmmaking today, citing a trend among Hollywood studios to focus on established franchises such as the Avengers and Spider-Man series. She contrasted this with the difficulty in securing funding for original or independent films, which studios view as financially risky. Harris referenced Mendes’s 2008 film "Revolutionary Road" as an example of a project unlikely to secure financing in the current industry climate, despite its critical acclaim.

With the Beatles biopics set for release in the spring of 2028, the films represent a notable effort to blend individual storytelling with a collective tribute to one of music’s most enduring acts.
