You Should Watch Sam Mendes’s Beatles Movies in Order


Though that may depend on which order you think the Beatles go in.

In April (that’s the fourth month of the year) of 2028 (divisible by four), Sony plans to release Sam Mendes’s Beatles (four guys) biopics in theaters. That’s four movies — starring Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr — all released together to create what Mendes said Sony exec Tim Rothman referred to as “ the first bingeable theatrical experience.” What that means precisely is kind of a mystery — are we supposed to sit through them all back-to-back like people do for The Lord of the Rings over the holidays? This is the most thematically logical order to engage with the Beatles that allows both the cold, hard facts of the band to intermingle with the fantasy and mythos of the music.
