A series of biopics about The Beatles are currently in the works at Sony Pictures Entertainment. This will mark the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles – Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as well as the families of John Lennon and George Harrison – have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.
The project comes from Sam Mendes, who is set to direct, and will be composed of four films altogether. Each will follow a different band member’s perspective as the project attempts to tell the ultimate story of this storied music group.
