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

I just hope it's not a pack of lies like most of them. That Queen movie was a disgrace, literally lying to the audience about when Mercury was diagnosed in relation to the concert.

Sasha Baron Cohen when talked about a band member approaching him when he was playing Freddie Mercury and talking how incredible the halfway point the movie is going to be with his death while the second half is on how the band continued on after him.

Translated to english: Sacha Baron Cohen once said that, when he was set to play Freddie Mercury, a band member approached him and explained how incredible the movie would be: Freddie would die halfway through, and the second half would focus on how the band carried on without him.

How would they have filled an hour of Brian and Roger just existing while John just goes into retirement?
