From Elvis Presley to Freddie Mercury, many music legends got Hollywood treatment in recent years, and The Beatles are the next ones in line! The Oscar winner Sam Mendes joined forces with Sony for four films inspired by each member of the Fab Four.
Mendes is planning to tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history—and one film won’t be enough to get things done. According to his production partner Pippa Harris, they’re plotting “a uniquely thrilling, and epic cinematic experience: four films, told from four different perspectives which tell a single story about the most celebrated band of all time.”
They found a perfect partner in crime in Sony Pictures Entertainment, and their CEO Tom Rothman promises this project “will rock audiences all over the globe”. They’re planning to release all four films theatrically in 2027, and their rollout strategy for this cinematic event has been described as “innovative and groundbreaking”.
The Beatles recorded music together between 1960 and 1970 and became a true sensation all around the globe before going their separate ways. With an estimated 600 million records sold online, they’re one of the best-selling music acts of all time, and many artists have cited them as their main influence over the course of the past five decades.
