An endeavour of epic proportins has been set in motion by Sony Pictures and Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes ("1917", "Skyfall", "American Beauty"). Mendes intends to direct four films, one on each of the members of iconic band The Beatles. This marks the first time Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.
Mendes' grand vision involves telling interconnected stories, one from each band member's point of view. The filmmaker has said that the "dating cadence" of the films "will be innovative and groundbreaking". He also added that he's "honored to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies."
In addition to directing all four films, Mendes will produce alongside his Neal Street Productions partner Pippa Harris and Neal Street's Julie Pastor. Jeff Jones will executive produce for Apple Corps Ltd., the multi-media organization founded by the Beatles in 1968.
No writers or cast have yet been announced.
