Internet Boyfriends to Star in Beatles Biopic | JQJO

A four-part Beatles biopic, slated for release in 2028, will star popular actors Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan as Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, respectively. The film aims to recapture the Beatlemania phenomenon for a new generation by leveraging the actors' large social media followings. The project, backed by Sony, is a significant undertaking given the band's enduring legacy and the challenges of attracting audiences back to cinemas in the streaming era. While the casting is strategically designed for broad appeal, concerns exist about the lack of Liverpool-based actors and the financial risk of a multi-film release.
