It was reported earlier this year that Sam Mendes is involved inThe Beatlesbiopics, four separate feature films about each member of the band. In June, reports emerged that Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson, and Charlie Rowe were tapped to portray the four artists. However, the most recent update about the film is disappointing for fans.
While fans eagerly await to see Mendes’ take on the project, it will be a long time before the film arrives in theaters. It is reported that Mendes will be working on the projects until mid-2028. With the earlier reported plans to release all four films in a single year, Mendes’ films will take years to hit theaters.
Sam Mendes’The BeatlesBiopics Might Take Years To Hit Theaters
According to the latest reports from@FilmUpdates, the production ofSam Mendes‘ planned biopics on The Beatles would last until mid-2028. The update has reportedly disappointed fans as they wouldn’t see the film until then. According to earlier reports, Mendes plans to release all the films in a single year (via NY Times).
The interconnected series of four films will tell the stories of each member of the band.Paul MescalandBarry Keoghanare reportedly playing Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in the film. Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon and Charlie Rowe will take on the role of George Harrison.

Even if Mendes reconsiders his initial decision and decides to release the films one by one, the first film will reach theaters only in 2026. Mendes will start the production of the project in 2025. With the mountainous tasks of script writing, filming, editing, and marketing, it would take a year minimum for a single film to be released in theaters.
While it’s a depressing update, it also presents no concerns to fans about the quality of films Mendes intends to put out. The1917director taking his time with the films will do more good than harm to the biopics.
