A 4 films project
Sony Pictures
Staged by Sam Mendes (The rebel wedding, 007 Specter, 1917…), this ambitious project will consist of four films, each adopting the point of view of a member of the group.
The official event of the event is as follows: “Each man has his own story, but together, they are legendary”. Sam Mendes promised that his project, entitled The Beatles-A Four-Film Cinematic Event, would be “the first experience of cinematographic binge-watch”. For the uninitiated, the term designates the fact of watching a series in one trait.
But it will be necessary to be patient: the four feature films will be shot in a year, then will all be released in April 2028. To date, it is still unknown if they will be broadcast on the same day or at the rate of one film per week.
