How the game-chang ing Beatles biopics could come together

WITH SAM MENDES’ FAB FOUR FILMS INCOMING, EMPIRE TAKES A MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR OF STORYTELLING POSSIBILITIES WORDS CHRIS HEWITT RUSSELL MOORCROFT

THE BEATLES WERE so groundbreaking that a conventional biopic was never going to suffice.

They deserve something more audacious and ambitious. Which is why Sam Mendes’ grand plan to direct not one, not two, not three, but four films about John, Paul, George and Ringo, to be shot back-to-back and released in 2027, is so exciting. He’s asked the big question: what would The Beatles do? And acted accordingly. Each movie will focus on an individual Beatle, with their stories ultimately overlapping. But what can we expect? Here’s what we’d like to see.
