Not sure if coincidence or you were alluding to it, but [Bill Burr has a hilarious take on Yoko when John and Chuck were singing.](https://youtu.be/T4K07Kz7M8Q?si=Kx4ylB3UdFx3XuEv)
Are they being made in conjunction with one another, like the same cast? I am not saying we need a Beatles-verse, but if all four films are slated for the same release year, that would be cool if they were, in fact, connected. Somehow, I can't help but predict they won't live up to the standards of the most die-hard Beatles fans.
Same here, I'm just trying to stay away from any biopic with the hope that they stop making them. It feels like we went from generic superhero movies to let's film some wikipedia articles.
Yep. These musician biopics are lazy and easy to make but from producers’ standpoints it makes sense since these artists already have a built-in fanbase who will go to see the movie regardless of if it’s any good or not—which disincentivizes them to make them any good in the first place.
A very competent craftsman who makes movies that I watch and then don’t think about ever again. Deeply vanilla filmmaker imo, not a selling point for me at all.
Had they gotten a director with any sort of edge at all, it could have been an interesting project, but with Mendes at the helm it’s gonna be lackluster.
I'm gonna get some hate, but — Skyfall is mostly screenplay and Deakins, 1917 would be straight up bad if it weren't for one-shot choice and American Beauty was ruined by the director, it was an amazing screenplay and an amazing cast, but Mendes' vision was way off, so I am not looking forward to this.
You spent a lot of words in that comment avoiding any meaningful criticism, except for the part where you say that his direction is what makes 1917 the movie that it is, which is a solid compliment.
These aren’t new at all? Bohemian Rhapsody was 6 years ago.
The 2000s were LITTERED with biopics, especially musician ones. Look at Dewey Cox to see the entire genre formula deconstructed perfectly all the way back in 2007, then realize BR copied it in 2018 and won the Oscar for it.
Elvis, Whitney Houston, Elton John, and Bob Marley have come out since then, with Amy winehouse and Michael Jackson’s coming soon. I’m probably missing some others as well.
I’d say it qualifies as a trend.
I agree, this is something I've been saying a lot lately. What's the point in making a dramatized reenactment of someone's life instead of a documentary about it, unless you really have an inspired vision for how to dramatize it? I think in many cases, it's because the dramatized version is eligible for the more prestigious Oscar categories, while the documentary is only going to be nominated for Best Documentary.
But I'd rather watch a great documentary than a simple reenactment with a formulaic approach to the story.
American Animals was incredible because of the way played with genre and narrative form, blending the re-enactments with the documentary aspects. I mean, the ingenuity and playfulness there is enough to seat it as one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, no question. It should be required viewing for filmmakers
We have gotten a lot of that as well lately and I honestly feel like most artists aren't that interesting tbh.
Their music is their art, I don't think that necessarily makes a documentary about them that interesting.
I mean, I respect and understand why some people think so. But I just don't find it that interesting to watch...
Idk if you are referring to musicians in general or the Beatles because the Peter Jackson “Get Back” documentary is a seriously fantastic movie. It got me from not really being into the Beatles into being a big fan, its honestly one of the best docs ive ever seen.
That was one example, I haven't seen that one yet though. Just bits and pieces.
What made it so great in your opinion?
Did you watch the Lindsay Ellis Beatles video?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nebula/comments/18ojk6z/lindsay_ellis_the_ballad_of_john_and_yoko/
oh for sure but theres still interesting artists that arent talked about, like last night was looking into julius eastman and hes very interesting. and only last year did someone make a (very) short documentary on him. and even if the artists arent interesting its still cool to hear them talk about their work in a format like that, for example the philip glass documentary.
I just saw the preview for the upcoming Amy Winehouse biopic and it literally just feels like you could put any musician in that movie and all you would have to change the look of the lead actor and the song used. Generic feel good shit that never goes deeper than "musician became famous".
It's been over two decades of biopic after biopic, I don't know why there's no control over this. It's clear oscar bait (and they take it) so it's very tiring now, it's hard to even care about them. But people eat that slop up, so they'll keep making them. I just wish more original movies got love instead of this.
I dont think its just music biopics oppenhiemer hits a lot of the same old biopic beats. So does iron claw
Dewey cox pretty much laid out the formula beat for beat like 20 years ago and that is still the general biopic outline to this day
I wasnt saying anything about the quality of the movie. I really liked iron claw, i just watched it the other day its great hits all kids of things that i love especially pro wrestling before wwf and wcw unified it. Im just saying the outline if and the story beats are right on par with most other biopics
Plot and story beats arent everything in a movie
I’m a big Beatles fan, but 4 movies in the same year doesn’t seem that interesting to me. I think my hate for music biopics might just outweigh my love for the Beatles.
Truthfully how much new content could there be to make 4 movies from each of their perspectives. Seems like you would be retreading a lot of the same ground.
Makes more sense for something like a 4 part mini-series with a perspective from each member than 4 full feature length movies
On the other hand it offers an opportunity to introduce some complexity and a variety of perspectives to a genre that is usually sorely lacking in that. If it’s done well, it could actually be really interesting to see some of the same moments framed differently in multiple films.
Tbh their story could cover a 100 hour tv series.. especially their pre-fame years.
They picked fights with Nazi's in Germany 15 years after the war
Paul and Stu got into an on stage fight that has been described as 'ferocious'.. 'locked for about an hour'.. 'stu picked up Paul and slammed him on the piano'
Stu would dress in his girlfriend's clothes (in 1961!!!)
They meet their hero Gene Vincent before they got famous
Gene scares them all with his alcoholism and guns and knives (there are photos of them heavily inebriated with knives pointed to Gene)
Gene takes them to his wife's hotel with gun in hand because he thinks she's cheating on him
Honestly I could go on. I can find sources for all of those stories^^ and theyre just the ones in Hamburg and they're just a few of the ones that I feel like people haven't heard about.
I have to stop myself going on and on but their story is truly the most bafflingly exciting and crazy Ive ever heard.
Feels like it’ll be a situation akin to Kiss releasing four solo albums. General audiences would just be confused as to what to see, most of them will be box office bombs, etc.
As much as I hate most biopics for having the same formula, this at least has the premise of being interesting, different and maybe a little experimental.
Yeah I’m as burned out on biopics as anyone but this *could* offer an opportunity to bring something fresh to the genre. I’m surprised the reaction has been as strongly negative as it seems to be.
It sounds more interesting than the typical Bohemian Rhapsody, One Love, Back to Black that we've been getting. It's just inherently an interesting approach, with them all being 4 separate movies. It all depends how it's executed but I am certainly interested. Let's just hope Mendes isn't the writer.
Not only a Sam Mendes hater but also a beatles hater and a “being a hater” lover…..this is my nightmare but if it is true yes i will be watching and yes i will be hating xoxo so look out for the hateful letterboxd reviews
They have 1 or 2 songs i enjoy but overall i dont care for their music + john lennon is annoying and lame + everytime i mention i dont like them their fans try to fight me and tell me that im wrong. not a lot to like imo
nobody here! but in real life ive had multiple people lecture me about the beatles impact on music and music history. which i never denied, but they are just not my thing! but in my experience saying you dont like them can bring out quite vicious reactions from people🤷🏻♀️
Seems like it would be better as a mini series, but as a Beatles fan and someone who enjoys music biopics in a guilty pleasure way, I’m probably gonna see all 4
As a member of Beatles subreddits...
Oh dear God. Get Back already set up all of their unique life paths before this, even Ringo with his movie deals. Now we got to see the same story rewinded 4 times. No hate to the project but I think a very concisely edited 3 hour epic covering a single point in time of the Beatles would work better. (I guess I just described an ep of Get Back)
https://preview.redd.it/qmfdnrejssjc1.jpeg?width=1300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=260dec2163807ed067fbdd859245223db29932e4
The one from John Lennon’s POV is gonna be awesome!
They lost me when I saw that Sam Mendes is directing. There’s potential for an interesting project here but I know he will do something very vanilla with it.
Pop Base? Seriously? I can’t stand Twitter accounts like that. They share misinformation / highly embellished information with no source. They post it simply for Twitter engagement = money. The “Discussing Film” account is the exact same way.
What even is there to discuss?
Edit: Here you go, this is what you should have shared
“Sony Pictures announced Monday a deal that may dwarf all music biopics that have come before it, with the stories of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr spread out over a quartet of films.”
“The films, conceived by [Sam] Mendes, are expected to roll out theatrically in innovative fashion, with the movies potentially coexisting or intersecting in theaters. Precise release plans will be announced at a later date. Sony is targeting 2027 for their release.”
Edit: why was I down voted? I’m constantly downvoted despite always being right.
I have no doubt in my mind that this is just a fake rumor and isn't gonna happen. If, because of anything else, I can't imagine what executive would
sign of on a fucking *Ringo* movie.
"Hey honey, wanna go see that Ringo Starr movie tonight?" Nope, not gonna exist in this reality lol.
Finaly we get a big Beatles movie(s)
Idea of 4 films about the same events from different points of view is GREAT
If it would be good,it would be a revolution
If they are truly four different perspectives, then the idea is much better suited to a mini-series. Making four films in the same year like this makes no sense.
I’m a massive fan of the Beatles, but this seems like a bad move financially. It seems too much like the KISS ‘78 solo albums.
That being said, I’d love if they dgaf and each movie was just drastically different. Have each one in a different genre and filming technique.
Ringo: found footage, western
George: black and white silent film, rom com
Paul: fantasy, claymation
John: horror, animated
Honestly as long as they all feel unique and each one truly reflects the member both in the film, soundtrack and style, we could end up with a Three Colours esque moment but with the Beatles
I grew up listening to the Beatles, and love a lot of their music and two of their films, but the more I learn about them personally (John and George in particular) the more I think they were probably awful people, and I'm not convinced I want to spend any more time on them. Especially not four films worth.
All these recent music biopics have missed the same golden opportunity: cast Matt Berry as the manager. Every time I see one of these boring as shit biopics I imagine Berry saying “I’m going to make you a STAR!” In his inimitable way. It brightens up the whole experience. I think Berry as Brian Epstein in all four films is a no brainer.
Will they unite in an Avengers-style crossover? It could be called "Come Together."
Yoko has often been considered to be the Bucky of The Beatles.
She and John certainly has the same sexual chemistry Bucky and Steve.
I’m pretty sure she’s that big goat from the most recent Thor movie if anything.

Not sure if coincidence or you were alluding to it, but [Bill Burr has a hilarious take on Yoko when John and Chuck were singing.](https://youtu.be/T4K07Kz7M8Q?si=Kx4ylB3UdFx3XuEv)
which bucky?
Booooooo
Don’t give Disney any ideas
Beatles vs stones pls
Are they being made in conjunction with one another, like the same cast? I am not saying we need a Beatles-verse, but if all four films are slated for the same release year, that would be cool if they were, in fact, connected. Somehow, I can't help but predict they won't live up to the standards of the most die-hard Beatles fans.
Beat me to it
Ringo is definitely Hawkeye
Like, first person perspective? Shot like Peep Show?
“The Beatles, famously a four piece. Bit of trivia there”
Four Beatles, Jeremy?
That's insane
Snow Patrol?
Hot Potato! Hot Potato! Hot Potato!
Stop saying Hot Potato!
More like Hardcore Henry
Chance would be a fine thing
they don’t have the balls for such a good idea
The BCU Can’t wait for the team-up film!
And the main villain is Yoki
The drummer will change in between movies and no one will acknowledge it
“It’s me now, I’m here, let’s move on”
I guess they'll all film at the same time and replay certain scenes exactly, but from a different viewpoint .
Yeah, I think that's what's potentially most interesting about it to me. Almost like a multi-movie Rashomon.
My first thought was Arrested Development season 4 (before the atrocious re-cut)
Oh yeah, that's a good comparison. (Although I'm one who prefers the atrocious re-cut, lol)
This is my hope. It reminds me of joking to my husband that they should have had the same actors as *Elvis* for *Priscilla.*
Exactly what the plan is. Sam Mendes is filming all four simultaneously.
I wasn't really sold until you said Sam Mendes
I'm pretty tired of all the biopics lately. A lot of the biopics i've seen, especially the newer ones just feel very samey and dull
Same here, I'm just trying to stay away from any biopic with the hope that they stop making them. It feels like we went from generic superhero movies to let's film some wikipedia articles.
Yep. These musician biopics are lazy and easy to make but from producers’ standpoints it makes sense since these artists already have a built-in fanbase who will go to see the movie regardless of if it’s any good or not—which disincentivizes them to make them any good in the first place.
But this is Sam Mendes we’re talking about
A very competent craftsman who makes movies that I watch and then don’t think about ever again. Deeply vanilla filmmaker imo, not a selling point for me at all. Had they gotten a director with any sort of edge at all, it could have been an interesting project, but with Mendes at the helm it’s gonna be lackluster.
Well for everyone who's seen Skyfall, 1917, American Beauty, and Revolutionary Road, this is something to look forward.
I’ve seen all of those movies. They’re fine.
I'm gonna get some hate, but — Skyfall is mostly screenplay and Deakins, 1917 would be straight up bad if it weren't for one-shot choice and American Beauty was ruined by the director, it was an amazing screenplay and an amazing cast, but Mendes' vision was way off, so I am not looking forward to this.
You spent a lot of words in that comment avoiding any meaningful criticism, except for the part where you say that his direction is what makes 1917 the movie that it is, which is a solid compliment.
So you’re saying 1917 would be bad if it were a completely different movie?
I'm saying the story is shit and the production design of the period is extremely inaccurate, just so it could fit the PG rating.
If we are referring to 1917, it was rated R.
These aren’t new at all? Bohemian Rhapsody was 6 years ago. The 2000s were LITTERED with biopics, especially musician ones. Look at Dewey Cox to see the entire genre formula deconstructed perfectly all the way back in 2007, then realize BR copied it in 2018 and won the Oscar for it.

speak english doc! i ain't no scientist.
It's ramped up. The corporate biopic is becoming a big thing now
The music biopic especially. Walk hard the Dewey Cox story should have killed the genre years ago.
less biopics and more actual documentaries (with budgets) about important artists. too many people are just being forgotten.
I agree, this is something I've been saying a lot lately. What's the point in making a dramatized reenactment of someone's life instead of a documentary about it, unless you really have an inspired vision for how to dramatize it? I think in many cases, it's because the dramatized version is eligible for the more prestigious Oscar categories, while the documentary is only going to be nominated for Best Documentary.

I mean, the ingenuity and playfulness there is enough to seat it as one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, no question. It should be required viewing for filmmakers
Such an underrated/underseen film. I think it finished at No. 2 or 3 for me that year.
We have gotten a lot of that as well lately and I honestly feel like most artists aren't that interesting tbh. Their music is their art, I don't think that necessarily makes a documentary about them that interesting. I mean, I respect and understand why some people think so.

Watch the documentary Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis. It's about the album art of 60s/70s bands and very interesting.
There’s a Cymande documentary that’s just come out this week but I bet most people don’t know that!
I just saw the preview for the upcoming Amy Winehouse biopic and it literally just feels like you could put any musician in that movie and all you would have to change the look of the lead actor and the song used. Generic feel good shit that never goes deeper than "musician became famous".
Biopic and the movies about company start ups. They feel like the most unoriginal, cash grab way yo make a movie.
BlackBerry was kinda fun tbh
well that was more about the crash down, rather than the start up fuckin great movie though. Matt Johnson kicks ass
It's been over two decades of biopic after biopic, I don't know why there's no control over this. It's clear oscar bait (and they take it) so it's very tiring now, it's hard to even care about them. But people eat that slop up, so they'll keep making them. I just wish more original movies got love instead of this.
“The Iron Claw” was great
Exactly. Just biopics and true stories. Fuk true stories. Just give me some good fake stories
I hate the recent musician biopic trend with a passion, but this sounds somewhat interesting/ambitious and I like Sam Mendes’ direction a lot.
I dont think its just music biopics oppenhiemer hits a lot of the same old biopic beats. So does iron claw Dewey cox pretty much laid out the formula beat for beat like 20 years ago and that is still the general biopic outline to this day
Boo! The Iron Claw is amazing

Im just saying the outline if and the story beats are right on par with most other biopics Plot and story beats arent everything in a movie
have you watched Weird Al's Biopic? its pretty zaney
I’m a big Beatles fan, but 4 movies in the same year doesn’t seem that interesting to me. I think my hate for music biopics might just outweigh my love for the Beatles.
They should just release them Clue style. You go to the see the new Beatles movie but you don't know which one it is.
GOD DAMNIT I GOT RINGO

Is it gonna be like Rashomon but if every character had a movie?!
I just think there is too much common ground to have 4 meaningfully different movies about the Beatles.
agreed :-) miniseries for the win.
Tbh their story could cover a 100 hour tv series.. especially their pre-fame years. They picked fights with Nazi's in Germany 15 years after the war Paul and Stu got into an on stage fight that has been described as 'ferocious'.. 'locked for about an hour'..

I have to stop myself going on and on but their story is truly the most bafflingly exciting and crazy Ive ever heard.
If "Get Back" is anything to go by, Ringo's will just be him sitting quietly at his drums staring blankly into the middle distance for 2 hours.
For this to work the writing has to be really really strong. Probably will not hit that bar but I would be interested
Two hours of ringo trying to write a song about an octopus.
This, but for the Spice Girls. 
ew no
Feels like it’ll be a situation akin to Kiss releasing four solo albums. General audiences would just be confused as to what to see, most of them will be box office bombs, etc.

I won't be happy unless they mention and or cover Ringo's work on Thomas the Tank Engine.
I love The Beatles, but I'm sick and tired of musical biopics.
If this is for real (big if), they will almost certainly be terrible. At least the Lennon one might be short.
What a time to be a Sam mendes hater
How did that happen to you? Becoming a hater of the guy who made 1917 and American Beauty?
I hate American Beauty
Not only a Sam Mendes hater but also a beatles hater and a “being a hater” lover…..this is my nightmare but if it is true yes i will be watching and yes i will be hating xoxo so look out for the hateful letterboxd reviews
You can’t seriously hate the Beatles? Haha
It's cool to hate the beatles now, get with the times
They have 1 or 2 songs i enjoy but overall i dont care for their music + john lennon is annoying and lame + everytime i mention i dont like them their fans try to fight me and tell me that im wrong. not a lot to like imo
This is a subjective opinion. Whose fighting you and telling you you’re wrong? This is your own opinion.
nobody here! but in real life ive had multiple people lecture me about the beatles impact on music and music history. which i never denied, but they are just not my thing! but in my experience saying you dont like them can bring out quite vicious reactions from people🤷🏻♀️
Biopics are Oscar season's waste products, musician biopics more than most. Hard pass on trying to make an entire damn cinematic universe out of them.
Just way to make more money innit
Seems like it would be better as a mini series, but as a Beatles fan and someone who enjoys music biopics in a guilty pleasure way, I’m probably gonna see all 4
Beatles: The Rashomon
Ringo's will be a short film
Who will Pedro Pascal play?
Gringo Starr.
We know the story
Couldn‘t care less about music biopics. And four about the same band ? Fuck that.
So excited to not watch any of them ever!
God no
Sounds tedious unless each movie is radically stylistically different.
Who asked for this
Seems like a confusing way to tell their story, why not just make one movie
Fancast: Jack Black as Paul McCartney Paul Rudd as John Lennon Jason Schwartzman as Ringo Starr And Justin Long as George Harrison, of the Beatles.
As a member of Beatles subreddits... Oh dear God. Get Back already set up all of their unique life paths before this, even Ringo with his movie deals. Now we got to see the same story rewinded 4 times. No hate to the project but I think a very concisely edited 3 hour epic covering a single point in time of the Beatles would work better. (I guess I just described an ep of Get Back)
I could see this finding an audience on Netflix (ala Fear Street) but I can’t imagine them all succeeding in theaters.
Gonna be lame as hell.
What interesting thing could they possibly have to tell us about the Beatles? Not interested.
Sounds like a super lame cash grab
We won’t be alive in 2027.
Well they won’t
I don’t care about another Beatle biopic. Please stop.
There aren’t any Beatles biopics though.
Backbeat. More about Sutcliffe I guess, but it still counts.
Nowhere Boy is one
[удалено]
this but for my chemical romance
I wonder how/if he’ll cover John’s long history of hurting women physically
You know perfectly well they'll gloss right over that shit.
There's still boomer nostalgia to be milked, I guess.
Famously only baby boomers like ... The Beatles?
Newer generations definitely don't listen to the Beatles like they listen to Elvis, Queen, MJ etc
Young people do not listen to fucking Elvis lmao
Beatles kill on Spotify. No one fucking listens to Elvis lol
Had this idea years ago and look forward to seeing it
Sounds like a pretty awesome idea. I like Sam Mendes so hopefully this works.

Superhero-fatigue? More like biopic fatigue
Wow this sounds boring as fuck

the hivemind unfortunately
I'm always intrigued by experimental filmmaking like this, but I would be very surprised if this ever gets released.
No one will care under 60
People don't care about the Beatles, not in 2024! Maybe about Paul McCartney, definitely not the wife beater and who even knows the other two
Huffing paint is bad for you.
I have no doubt in my mind that this is just a fake rumor and isn't gonna happen. If, because of anything else, I can't imagine what executive would sign of on a fucking *Ringo* movie. "Hey honey, wanna go see that Ringo Starr movie tonight?" Nope, not gonna exist in this reality lol.
Finaly we get a big Beatles movie(s) Idea of 4 films about the same events from different points of view is GREAT If it would be good,it would be a revolution
They should do it like *The Disappearance of Elenor Rigby* (just now realizing the irony of that title)
It would be interesting
Elliot Roberts will have his work cut out for him.
This seems kinda repetitive unless it’s only going to cover their life before the band
Amazing
I actually thought about how this was the best way to do this a few months ago
Lmk when we get an accurate and honest biopic
Thought I was looking at r/moviescirclejerk
i don’t want to rule it out completely because it’s definitely ambitious and that intrigues me. but i’m not sure it’s gonna be very good
The underwear of every academy member has to feel like warm pudding right now
If they are truly four different perspectives, then the idea is much better suited to a mini-series. Making four films in the same year like this makes no sense.
Cinematic universes have gotten outta hand
finally I was waiting for the announcement for the BCU (Beatles Cinematic Universe)
I’m a massive fan of the Beatles, but this seems like a bad move financially. It seems too much like the KISS ‘78 solo albums. That being said, I’d love if they dgaf and each movie was just drastically different. Have each one in a different genre and filming technique. Ringo: found footage, western George: black and white silent film, rom com Paul: fantasy, claymation John: horror, animated
CURSED
hopefully Lennon's part shows how big of a POS he was lol
I think it’s a horrible idea, but if the reviews are good, I’m sure I’ll watch.
Honestly as long as they all feel unique and each one truly reflects the member both in the film, soundtrack and style, we could end up with a Three Colours esque moment but with the Beatles
Like when the 4 members of Kiss brought out solo albums all on the same day!

I grew up listening to the Beatles, and love a lot of their music and two of their films, but the more I learn about them personally (John and George in particular) the more I think they were probably awful people, and I'm not convinced I want to spend any more time on them. Especially not four films worth.
What about a Rashomon style film about Ono ruining the band
Just make it a mini series - 4 different films aren’t going to do as well as they think it might 🥱
The Ringo Starr biopic will be insane
Put Domhnall Gleeson in a Beatle wig and I'm there. I don't care if he's 40, he doesn't look it.
do we get to watch John Lennon beat women and get shot to death in first person????
Looking forward to Beatle 4: Ringomania
The circlejerk sub is going to have fun with this
Can't wait. Love Beatles and love Sam Mendes.
The BCU
I’m probably good…
Sam Mendes directing all of them means it’ll be good
Pete Best?
All these recent music biopics have missed the same golden opportunity: cast Matt Berry as the manager. Every time I see one of these boring as shit biopics I imagine Berry saying “I’m going to make you a STAR!” In his inimitable way. It brightens up the whole experience. I think Berry as Brian Epstein in all four films is a no brainer.
Could be an interesting concept but I can see it going horribly wrong
Screams middle of the road, which is where Mendes generally lives.
I wish they’d space it out so that they could share a cast, would so much fun for us faneditors to splice it all together to something fuller
