There are a lot of Pauls we love in Hollywood, but if we had to pick our favourite two – we'd obviously pick Paul Mescal and Paul McCartney (sorry Paul Newman and Paul Giamatti). So when we caught wind of some rumours swirling on the internet that our favourite actor Paul might be portraying our favourite musician Paul in an upcoming film biopic, it seemed almost too special to share.
With an Oscar-winning director at the helm of four SEPARATE films about each of the four members of The Beatles, this project is a behemoth in every sense of the word. For everything we know so far, read on...
Who is in the cast?
There's no official word on casting at the moment, but the internet has been swirling with pretty concrete rumours about who will play the leading quad of the film. Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan and Charlie Rowe are the four film stars slated to play (respectively) Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.
We can't argue with some of the uncanny resemblances – and we already know that Paul Mescal can sing – so we'll be waiting for the official notification to drop into our inboxes soon.
What is the film about?
The films are all set to be helmed by Sam Mendes, who already has plenty of blockbusters under his belt – from Bond films to cult classics like American Beauty and Cabaret. The films are slated as biopics, so we're thinking we'll get a full run down on each band members' life – from the manic highs to the tragic lows. We've already gotten plenty of documentaries about The Beatles – including Peter Jackson's Get Back only a few years ago – so we're excited to see a more intimate look at the controversies and myths that have shrouded the band for decades. And will the surviving band members give the films their blessing?
When will it be released?
We're still pretty far out from any release dates, as casting has yet to be officially announced. For now, the question is – which band member's film will we get first?
