Four actors were recently observed filming a recreation of The Beatles’ famous Abbey Road album cover for an upcoming cinematic project directed by Sam Mendes. Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan and Harris Dickinson are each portraying one of the band members in the production. The original photograph was taken on Aug. 8, 1969, and captured John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison walking single file across a crosswalk outside EMI Studios in London.
The project is titled The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event and will be distributed by Sony Pictures. Each of the four films will be told from one band member’s perspective, with the narratives interconnected across all four movies. Mescal is cast as McCartney, Dickinson as Lennon, Quinn as Harrison and Keoghan as Starr.
The production has secured access to The Beatles’ complete music catalog through an agreement with Apple Corps, the band’s label, granting music rights for the scripted films. Plot specifics remain undisclosed at this time. A supporting cast has been assembled including David Morrissey, Leanne Best, James Norton, Harry Lloyd, Bobby Schofield, Daniel Hoffman-Gill, Arthur Darvill and Adam Pally in various roles connected to the band members and their professional circle.
All four films are scheduled for theatrical release in April 2028, though the specific release dates have not yet been announced.
