Paul Mescal to star in Beatles film, Ridley Scott appears to confirm
Longstanding rumour on casting as Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes’s big four-part project seems settled after comments by Gladiator II director
, Scott let slip the information during an on-stage conversation with Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan after a screening of Gladiator II in Los Angeles. Mendes announced that his mammoth four-part project, with each Beatle getting their own feature film, was being produced with the full co-operation of McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with the heirs of George Harrison and John Lennon’s estates. Little official information has been forthcoming, though Starr recently suggested that Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan had been cast to play him, saying: “I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.”
