On Monday, in a bleak setting with surprisingly little manufacturing worth, Sony unveiled its plan and its solid for the Sam Mendes-helmed Beatles biopics. And sure, that plural just isn’t an accident. Sony just isn’t merely making one Beatles film; it’ll launch 4, one for every man, all in April 2028. We have now questions. Jessica, in actual fact, ranted about this in immediately’s Drinks With Broads, so I gained’t say a lot else aside from to marvel a) why all of them needed to costume in black and b) why Sony picked a background that appears like this announcement occurred in one of many minor circles of Hell.
The faces of the Fab 4 are, left to proper, Joseph Quinn as George, Barry Keoghan as Ringo, Harris Dickinson as John, and Paul Mescal as, effectively, Paul. In all that black, they’re evoking the dangerous guys from Superman II. Terence Stamp without end.
I wasn’t positive at first, however now that I’m observing them, I can see it? Harris does have that lengthy, slender Lennon face. Put a wig and a beard and glasses on him and we actually is perhaps in enterprise. Mescal can, to my thoughts, slip into the impish pores and skin of McCartney as seen on this photograph. Likewise, this side-by-side makes a convincing case for Keoghan and Ringo, and as for George and Joseph, I’ve seen worse! They’re all adequate actors to get into the spirit without having to be clones, however I feel the power is perhaps proper. Now, do I need 4 Beatles motion pictures? No. Do I need one Beatles film? Probably additionally no. What number of unturned stones are left there, actually? But when it’s a multitude, I don’t assume it’ll be the lads’ fault.
