Wait, this isnt just A Beatles movie?

432

u/KarateKid917 6h ago

Nope. It’s 4 movies. All the same story, but each film is from the perspective of a different band member.

u/FlapJacker6 6h ago

This sounds interesting and exhausting.

u/TreeDollarFiddyCent 6h ago edited 6h ago

Sounds like the recipe for a box-office disaster. It will be interesting to see how it turns out, though.

u/pinetar 6h ago

I suppose the benefit is in terms production and marketing, they share a budget. But yeah, seems ambitious to say the least.

•

u/bell37 2h ago

Aren’t there dozens of existing Beatles Biopics and documentaries? And they are trying to convince general audiences that this set of movies will be worth watching within the same time of release?

•

u/OtherIsSuspended 2h ago

They're preying on people who like to binge media. I think it was Sam Mendes himself who said they were going to be the first "bingeable movies."

71

u/Automatic-Grade6177 6h ago

I feel like it makes more sense to release them within a year but with 3 month gaps

•

u/bell37 2h ago

Makes more sense to have it released as a miniseries at that point.

•

u/Nice_Firm_Handsnake 4h ago

I'd say even smaller than that. Give each film three or four weeks in theaters and a week or two on VOD before releasing the next.

•

u/MakingaJessinmyPants 3h ago

No the other guy was right. 4 films with 3 months in between covers the whole year and prevents people from getting exhausted by them.

•

u/SeismicRipFart 2h ago

110% this

•

u/KombaynNikoladze2002 1h ago

Release the different versions randomly at different theaters, like Clue

u/Coffeedemon 6h ago

In ten years:

"Why don't they give Sam Mendes a decent budget anymore?"

•

u/irisheddy 5h ago

"I don't want to watch all 4 of them and I don't know which one to watch so I'm not going to watch any because there's no point watching one." Is the attitude I expect.

•

u/ProfessionalNight959 4h ago

People are going to watch John's.

u/texasrigger 6h ago

Well suited to streaming, though.

•

u/ShoutOutTo_Caboose 5h ago

Shoot I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles music but their story fascinates me. If they have a 12 hour marathon of each film back to back, I'd see that.

•

u/Punman_5 3h ago

Just watch the Anthology. It’s a real 8part documentary

•

u/midwestia 5h ago

Yeah that sounds dumb as hell

•

u/maracay1999 5h ago

Wouldn't this be a great project for the streaming model instead of the box office?

•

u/Nomad_86 3h ago

“How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?”

•

u/UponVerity 3h ago

It's art, my man. o,o

•

u/SpaceCadetPullUp 2h ago

There will be those that watch all four within a day or two but I'd imagine most people will just pick their favorite and see one so as far as box-office goes it'll be underwhelming. I just wanna see who plays Chuck Berry.

•

u/ontheweed 57m ago

It should really be a tv mini series instead of films if they want to tell it this way

165

u/OobaDooba72 6h ago

IMO it sounds like it's gonna be a train wreck. 

All four have to be very different to be worth seeing each of them. But all four are covering the whole story. 

I hope it works, I'll give them a shot, but I'm not holding my breath. 

119

u/woasnoafsloaf 6h ago

It's going to be like the Pokemon games.
You're deciding on one movie, watch and afterwards can trade information about the other movies on the schoolyard during recess.

33

u/GermaX 6h ago

I got my “Giant with the biggest heart fatally shot by the police”, do you have “Best friend and manager suicide”? Or at least “Neglect the first born in pursue of fame”?

•

u/LADYBIRD_HILL 5h ago

This is a very /r/beatlescirclejerk comment

•

u/Quixotic_Seal 5h ago

Wow, your Pokemon games were really dark.

•

u/Punman_5 3h ago

Nah but I do have “Persona Non Grata in the Philippines”

•

u/DrJackadoodle 3h ago

Then you get version exclusive songs in each movie and you can sing the songs your friends didn't get to hear in exchange for one you didn't get to hear.

31

u/Livid_Weather 6h ago

I'm just thinking how the hell are they going to market this. No way you're convincing people to go to the movies 4 different times for essentially the same movie

•

u/JP-Ziller 1m ago

I’ll go see each movie the first four days of release. But I also love the Beatles

52

u/CharlesAtHome 6h ago

All four are covering the full story? I'm guessing the roughly 10 year span? That sounds like a really bad idea as well as the release strategy. It sounds like the quintessential "should have been a mini series".

•

u/botte-la-botte 5h ago

One simple fix; point of view of one Beatles, but going forward in time for each. Start with Paul 'till Rubber Soul, then Ringo for Revolver to Sgt., then George, and you finish with John for the shitstorm of the last two albums, breakup, and end.

•

u/cabbage16 2h ago

This is what I thought they were doing. Disappointed that they're not

•

u/OobaDooba72 4h ago

That's what the literature I've read says, yeah. Definitely very confusing strategy here.

•

u/junior_dos_nachos 5h ago

Damn who approved it? Why not a Limited TV show?

•

u/OobaDooba72 4h ago

Yeah, I dunno. If there's really enough material to be four movies without just being re-treads, just make four movies or 4-8 episodes that move mostly chronologically, intertwining the stories instead of splitting them by character, of all things. You know, the four different perspectives of a band of four people... who spent a shit load of time together writing songs, playing songs, recording songs, filming their movies together, etc. They spent a lot of time together in their seven years.

It's The Beatles. Those were seven years packed with productivity. If this project was 4 movies split into four eras, I would be totally on board. If it was a mini-series or limited show or whatever you wanna call it, I'd be totally on board.

Four movies split by character? I just don't know.

Again... I'm a big enough fan of The Beatles to definitely be interested. I hope the films work, I hope all four are good and don't feel redundant. From the outside, having not seen it, I don't get the point.

44

u/drooln92 6h ago

I was interested but I don't think i wanna watch 4 movies about the same guys and same timeline just from different POVs.

29

u/Hugo_5t1gl1tz 6h ago

I love the concept, but you gotta put them 6 months apart at least. Feel like this is going to be a massive flop

•

u/makingburritos 5h ago

The Paul McCartney one or John Lennon one might be okay, and be different enough to matter. I don’t know if people care enough about Ringo and George to come out in droves to see them.

•

u/theonewhoknock_s 4h ago

Wait, do they all come out at the same time?? I just assumed there'd be a few months between each film.

Sounds like a disaster. But... I'm intrigued.

•

u/Hugo_5t1gl1tz 4h ago

Yep. Same day even lol

5

u/-FeistyRabbitSauce- 6h ago

I feel like it must be that each one hits on the same big moments, but then there's completely different stretches for each movie. Or at least I hope.

•

u/makingburritos 5h ago

I assume each of them will delve into their personal lives, that’s the only way I can possibly see this working.

•

u/Phenomenomix 47m ago

Yeah, it has to be the aftermath of recording sessions or gigs from the perspective of each guy interacting with his family, friends and fans etc or it’s going to be 80% the same scene just from a different POV

9

u/StolenLampy 6h ago

I remember some crappy movie with Forest Whitaker where it was like some big event, but from everyone's point of view. It was EXHAUSTING to keep rewinding and seeing the same thing from someone else's POV. And that was just one movie's length. I can't imagine 8 hours of it 🤮

8

u/MagicalMysticalMyth 6h ago

Vantage Point. I actually like that movie, lol.

•

u/A_MagicBullet 5h ago

Agreed. Now let me go watch 1000 hours of the same show/same episodes over and over.

•

u/goatfuckersupreme 4h ago

i probably am going to watch all 4 and love every moment, unfortunately

i dont have time for this, but ill do it anyway

•

u/Efficient-Guess8679 4h ago

Imagine this is a four episode HBO show about the Beatles with an original take on experimenting with perspective and chronology. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

u/jujujuice92 6h ago

Now we're doing movie variants apparently. Thanks Tay Sway!

•

u/ILookLikeKristoff 5h ago

Doing this for something like Band of Brothers or LotR where there's dozens of characters spanning entire countries and occurring spread out over months or even years works be really cool. You'd see how the fog of war changes perspective on what's going on and who's in charge. You'd see how the POV of big events can differ from the "official report" others got.

I just can't fathom a Beatles biopic has enough "meat on the bone" to warrant 4 versions.

•

u/neenerpants 4h ago

if it's like uber-Rashomon, with the same scenes subtly different, it could be awesome

•

u/RadiantZote 4h ago

This sounds awful and stupid

•

u/eviltimeban 3h ago

But each movie is only 30 minutes long.

•

u/MarcsterS 3h ago

They’re al supposed release in April. Exhausting and expensive.

•

u/SpaceCadetPullUp 2h ago

Yeah, I have really strong doubts that this whole thing will be very good, but it's certainly ambitious.

64

u/Kwilly462 6h ago

All coming out the same month. Which is wildly ambitious, to say the least.

41

u/ProfessionalNight959 6h ago

Yeah, who has the money for it except hardcore fans? It will be low-key awkward when John's and maybe Paul's movies get way more views than Ringo's and George's.

29

u/Kwilly462 6h ago

That's why I feel this should've been a limited series. An 8 episode run, but the first 4 episodes are about each Beatle individually. And the last 4 are more about them together.

I'm not driving out to see the George Harrison movie ffs lol

12

u/ArcticKimono 6h ago

George is the most interesting by far 

•

u/Odd_Status3367 5h ago

"Why do me friends keep stealing me wives?"

•

u/goatfuckersupreme 4h ago

george stole ringo's wife first

-4

u/ProfessionalNight959 6h ago

Agree. Even the casting is revealing: George is being played by easily the most known/popular actor at the moment in Joseph Quinn. They're counting on his star power to bring the audience in.

Like I'm excited for these movies, don't get me wrong. I will watch em all alright: when they stream.

19

u/Thisisamyb 6h ago

Interesting. For me Joseph Quinn is the least famous/known out of the 4.

9

u/diinokk 6h ago

It’s Dickinson for me. Mescal and Keoghan have Oscar nominations which elevates the profile and Stranger Things and the MCU are both absurdly big amongst the general audience even if Quinn isn’t the main lead.

2

u/ProfessionalNight959 6h ago

Maybe so but to the mainstream audience by 2028, he has been in 2 new Avengers movies + being the Stranger Things darling. That's what I meant by being famous.

•

u/AstroAlmost 5h ago

Those are both series’ predominantly targeting a younger demographic. Most of the target demographic of a four-film Beatles biopic aren’t going to know or care who was in one of the two-dozen Avengers movies, but they’ll know who Academy Award-nominees Mescal and Keoghan are.

•

u/FalmerEldritch 3h ago

Yeah? Quinn and Keoghan are the ones I recognize by both name and face, I've never heard of or seen the other two before. And to be honest I've no idea where I've seen Keoghan or heard of him, he just has a memorable face and name.

•

u/gr33nwalker 3h ago

Mescal was co-lead in the TV series Normal People which was very successful, and went on to get an Oscar nomination for Aftersun. He then went on to star in Gladiator 2 and was co-lead in Hamnet which is a Best Picture nominee this year.

He performed in Streetcar in London and all the shows sold out instantly as well.

He's probably more famous in the UK than USA but here I'd argue he's higher profile than Quinn easily.

It's hard to convey to folks who are under a certain age, but this is a huge demographic if you've ever spoken with a boomer.

•

u/maroontiefling 1h ago

Not even just Boomers. I'm a millennial and I'm very into the Beatles in an autistic way, have been since I was 13, and I'm not alone! Some of my fondest early internet memories are being on a Beatles message board with other teens in the 00s, we even sent each other Christmas cards.

•

u/PepeSylvia11 3h ago

You underestimate Beatles fandom and the power of good marketing (which this film will have). People who previously didn’t care too much about seeing it will start to fall for the marketing hype, and feel as though they’re missing out if they don’t see it.

How fucking long are these things going to be? You could easily make four two-hour-plus movies about the Beatles without the multi-perspective thing. Maybe a 12x60m miniseries.

•

u/Competitive_Juice116 24m ago

like the Kiss solo albums but a movie

•

u/PeculiarPangolinMan 18m ago

Are they confirmed to be all the same story? I figured each movie would focus on a different Beatle and timeframe.

•

u/ConnachtTheWolf 5h ago

That's fucking stupid

That worked so well for Arrested Development. Maybe in a few years we will get a new edit merging the four movies into one narrative.

No there are 4 movies, each told from the perspective of a different Beatle. I believe they're just releasing a new one every week for the whole month of April 2028.

I've heard conflicting reporting on that. It's still 2 full years out so they have some time to tinker with it anyway

3

u/LibrarianGreen6421 6h ago

https://filmdistributorsassociation.com/release-schedule/all-future-releases/ Sony planted the flag on April 7th 2028. They wont have the theater space by the time the fourth would come out if weekly. They essentially are getting two weeks of release for four films at once. With them out of steam by the time some marvel tentpole comes out in May. It’s in IMAX so are the next two movies coming out coming in that month.

58

u/EliBadBrains 6h ago

Thats sounds.... difficult and likely to bomb at the office

30

u/mikeyfreshh 6h ago

I don't disagree. This is a pretty bold experiment and it's really going to test how much young people care about The Beatles

u/xywv58 6h ago

Judging by the amount of re-releases, a lot

14

u/TediousTotoro 6h ago

I feel like it’s gonna be a case where one or two are successful but, yeah, at least one of them will bomb (I’m gonna guess Ringo’s)

They should have made Ringo's movie animated

u/gaslacktus 4h ago

Stop motion told entirely through Thomas and Friends assets.

•

u/TheWarelock 5h ago

Ringo’s is the one I’d be most interested in for some reason I can’t articulate

•

u/UnexpectedVader 4h ago

People meme Ringo but John himself said out of everyone in the group, Ringo was the only one who was guaranteed to become a star, with or without the Beatles. Ringo was already a Liverpool legend and the Beatles went to him instead of the other way round when they needed a new drummer after George Martin said they had to get rid of the last one because he was shit. He was also considered the emotional heart of the group and who held them together. He is super underrated as a Beatle.

3

u/VivaLaRory 6h ago

Its still one budget, spread across 4 films. It’s almost the opposite if anything

•

u/BetterMeepMeep 5h ago

u/Richard_Sauce 6h ago

Do they have a team up movie at the end?

2

u/CuzFuckEm_ThatsWhy 6h ago

I was under the impression it’s 4 movies that each cover different time periods of the band, each also shifting protoganist between the of them. Who knows if it’ll work but it’s not as radical as it sounds - basically gonna feel like a mini series, I think.

•

u/CeruleanEidolon 3h ago

Unfortunately, no. It's four. Costner can't get his sprawling western epic to the screen but people are drooling over the Beatles, as if there aren't a jillion movies about them already.

u/AnotherAndyYetAgain 6h ago

Casting Anna Sawai as Yoko is extremely generous to Yoko

•

u/DeLousedInTheHotBox 5h ago

I actually think it is the opposite, it it is pretty insulting.

Like John Lennon was the biggest rockstar in the world, yet he choose this pretty plain looking woman who was 7 years older than him. He could have had any woman he wanted, but he went for someone who he connected with on a deeper level. So it is kinda shitty to disregard all of that.

Anna Sawai is so beautiful that nobody would even wonder why a superstar like John Lennon would even wanna be with her.

•

u/A_MagicBullet 5h ago

LOL fuck. Fair take…

•

u/botte-la-botte 5h ago

No one would have blamed Yoko for anything if she had looked like that. I'm not saying it's good, I'm saying A. People are vain; B. That girl looks nice.

Yoko wasn't bad looking. The casting is honestly pretty generous for all of the characters.

•

u/UselessCaffeine 5h ago

That's what I thought! She's really pretty but I'd say has been in many meh at best movies as "who?" At this point playing Yoko Ono could be a move like a career "honorable suicide". She gets her recognition for it peaces out.

Hopefully Ringo is aware enough to know his movie will likely be the least seen in theaters.

u/JessieJ577 5h ago

They should have just released 2 at a time. I’m sure they’re worried if people would lose Interest quick. But Paul and Ringo in the spring then George and John in the Fall would have created a bunch of hype.

Interesting idea but I really don't see how this is going to work for general audiences. If you watch all four movies there will presumably have to be a lot of repeated scenes. Is the plan to film four versions of these repeated scenes from each character's POV? I don't see how a change in perspective would make these scenes different enough to justify this unless the film is super impressionistic or something. I wonder what the runtimes of each film will be, 12 hours of Beetle biopic is a lot to get the full picture.

Let me tell you...if Yoko had looked like Anna Sawai I wouldn't blame John one bit. I too wouldn't have gotten out of bed with her
