It wouldn’t be a Beatles movie without Abbey Road.
In a video shared on social media, Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan were shown recreating the iconic album cover for Sam Mendes’ multi-part Beatles biopic, titled “The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event.”
Each film in the series will be from the perspective of a different band member, and all four films are set for an April 2028 release by Sony Pictures. Mendes’ project marks the first time that the Beatles and their estates have signed off on life rights and music for a theatrical feature film about them.
Mescal stars as Paul McCartney, Quinn plays George Harrison, Barry Keoghan portrays Ringo Starr and Harris Dickinson plays John Lennon.

The film’s official logline reads: “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.” During CinemaCon 2025, Mendes, who directs all four instalments, described the project as the “first binge-able theatrical experience.” It is currently unknown if the films will be released all at once or once a week throughout April. Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman added at the time that principal photography for the four films will take a year.
