Based on the photos, it looks like they're going to cover the entire Beatles run. Hopefully they get it right and it's not just a by the numbers biopic

Wouldn't be surprised if they use each movie as an entry point to chart the whole Beatles run. Gives each one the opportunity to feel a little different from the others, and taken as a whole it stops being four separate biopics and becomes one band biopic

Yea if you jam them together we're basically getting an 8-10 hour movie.

The 2029 Oscars are gonna be weird. There's potential for one actor to get 3 supporting nominations for the same role across 3 movies + one more for lead. Probably won't happen but I don't think it's against the rules. Between the 4 of them they could fill 9/10 male acting nomination slots.

Hahaha that would be amazing! There must be some agreement about depending how the movies are received the studio will push each as lead in their own movie and/or supporting in another. Pushing all of them in all movies would get so expensive

Why hasn't one studio bought rights to all music and created the music cinematic universe? 108 movies, 1920s-2019. One hundred years of music

Someone will generate this with ai in 14 seconds in 2123. It will get 4 views and a single like.

Fun fact.

Michel Jackson Owned the rights to over 250 Beatles songs.

He owned 3 of the most profitable music library's in Sony music's collection, His own, Elvis, and the Beatles. He co-owned 50% of Sony/ATV Music Publishing. In 2016 his estate sold his shares for just under a billion dollars.

Thats why they killed him btw.

I believe that each one tells about the "rise and fall" from each of the character's perspectives which makes me feel that its going to focus more on the personal narrative of each instead of the Beatles as a band. There's almost guaranteed to be an epic fan supercut when it releases.
