After months of speculations about Mendes’ The Beatles films, the Oscar-winning director took the stage at Sony’s CinemaCon presentation to share some details about this project. He said he’s been trying to make a film about the Fab Four for years because they changed his understanding of music, and he considers them “the most significant band of all time.”

Mendes was joined by the star-studded cast of the four films – Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson as John Lennon. Rumors of their casting have been circling around for months, but this was the first time they officially confirmed them.

The principal photography on The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will take a year, and all four films are set for an April 2028 release. Sam Mendes described the four films as “the first bingable theatrical experience” and promised that each film will give us a chance to understand them more deeply.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the documentary will be based on the previously unreleased 55 hours of footage that shows the iconic band in the studio during the recording sessions.

The footage was initially meant to be used for a TV special, but those plans were ultimately scrapped, and the project ended up becoming Let It Be documentary by Michael Lindsay-Hogg.

Still, it is believed that Lindsay-Hogg’s film didn’t use the source material in the best way, and that there are still valuable scenes to be presented to the audience.

“The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience … it’s like a time machine transports us back to 1969, and we get to sit in the studio watching these four friends make great music together,” said Jackson.

This footage of the Let it Be recording sessions is especially important for fans of The Beatles, since it shows the band and the dynamics between its members just months before they disbanded. While there were rumors that this material also contained hints at the future problems between the band members, that might not be the case.

“After reviewing all the footage and audio that Michael Lindsay-Hogg shot 18 months before they broke up, it’s simply an amazing historical treasure-trove,” added Jackson.

“Sure, there’s moments of drama — but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating — it’s funny, uplifting and surprisingly intimate.”  

Peter Jackson’s documentary received the blessing from the two surviving members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.
