Sam Mendes will direct all 4 films on Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.
The Beatles had changed music in the 1960s, with hit songs ‘Here Comes the Sun’, ‘Yesterday’, ‘Come Together’ and other classic hits.
Two of the 4 man band are dead with only John Lennon tragically being shot dead in 1980 and George Harrison passing away from cancer in 2001.
Their has been many documentary’s on the band with Ron Howard’s ‘The Beatles: Eight day a week - The Touring Years’ and Peter Jackson Docuseries ‘The Beatles: Get Back’.
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 be executive producer for Apple Corps Ltd.
“This project springs from an idea of Sam’s which he had over a year ago,” said Harris, “and it’s a testament to his creative brilliance and powers of persuasion that Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon and Olivia Harrison responded with such warmth and enthusiasm as soon as he spoke with them.”
