We’re still some time away from THE BEATLES: A FOUR-FILM CINEMA EXPERIENCE being released, but the anticipation has already reached extraordinary heights for what promises to be one of the most ambitious projects in cinema history. For the first time, fans have been given a tantalizing glimpse of the transformation that lies ahead, as Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan step into the shoes of the most legendary band the world has ever known.
The reveal came through an unexpected but fitting source: the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, which received exclusive promotional postcards for the films and scattered them across their campus like musical Easter eggs, later sharing images on Instagram that sent the internet into a frenzy. Each postcard features one of the four leads in character, with stark, simple text announcing their role—Mescal’s reads “Paul Mescal is Paul McCartney,” a declaration that somehow manages to be both matter-of-fact and monumentally significant.
What makes this project so extraordinary is its structure: all four films are being directed by Sam Mendes, each one told from the perspective of a different Beatle, and all four are set to be released simultaneously on April seventh, twenty twenty-eight. Dickinson will inhabit John Lennon, Quinn will bring George Harrison to life, and Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr, each actor charged with carrying an entire film while their characters’ stories inevitably intertwine across the quartet of narratives.
The supporting cast reads like a who’s who of contemporary talent, with Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Harry Lloyd as George Martin, and David Morrissey as Jim McCartney. It’s a constellation of performers that suggests Mendes and his team are approaching this not as mere musical biopic but as a sprawling, multi-perspective epic that honors the complexity and cultural seismic shift the Beatles represented, while those first-look postcards, simple as they are, have ignited imaginations about what’s to come when four films attempt to capture lightning in a bottle all at once.

✨ Brendan Gleeson just reminded us why he`s one of the greats ✨
Yesterday at the London Standard Theatre Awards, Gleeson took the night for his performance in THE WEIR—and honestly? there`s no one else who could have done it quite like him.
This is an actor who doesn`t perform. he breathes into the role. he becomes it. soul-deep, nuanced, the kind of characterisation that makes you forget you`re watching acting at all.
