Stars Align: Keoghan, Quinn, Dickinson Begin Filming Iconic Beatles Biopic
"The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event" is in production, featuring Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, and Harris Dickinson as the Fab Four. Recent filming included recreating iconic scenes from "A Hard Day's Night" and the "Abbey Road" album cover, with each of the four films exploring a different band member's story before their theatrical release in April 2028.
Filming for the highly anticipated "The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event" is well underway, with key cast members recently spotted recreating iconic moments from the legendary band's history. The ambitious project will tell the story of The Beatles through four distinct films, each focusing on a different member of the band, with the official logline stating, "Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary." All four films are scheduled for a theatrical release in April 2028.
The principal cast bringing the Fab Four to life includes Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson portraying John Lennon. Recently, Keoghan, Quinn, and Dickinson were seen on set filming the memorable opening sequence of the 1964 film "A Hard Day’s Night," as captured in images by TMZ. This scene depicts the band members vigorously running away from throngs of adoring fans, a pivotal moment from the Richard Lester-directed movie which originally followed the band’s struggles to manage themselves and Paul McCartney’s mischievous grandfather while preparing for a live TV performance.
Beyond the recreation of "A Hard Day’s Night" moments, the full cast, including Paul Mescal, was also observed faithfully recreating the iconic "Abbey Road" album cover last month, further signaling the depth and authenticity the cinematic event aims to achieve. The comprehensive casting extends beyond the core band members to include a host of significant figures from The Beatles' orbit. Saoirse Ronan is set to star as Linda McCartney, James Norton as the band's manager Brian Epstein, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, and Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono. Other notable cast members include Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Harry Lloyd as George Martin, David Morrissey as Jim McCartney, Leanne Best as Mimi Smith, Bobby Schofield as Neil Aspinall, Daniel Hoffmann-Gill as Mal Evans, Arthur Darvill as Derek Taylor, and Adam Pally as Allen Klein. This extensive ensemble underlines the detailed portrayal of the band's journey and personal lives.
