All the internets boyfriends cast in The Beatles biopic
Great news for anyone with an internet connection and the ability to yearn: the internet's boyfriends have been cast as members of The Beatles in a series of four films about the fab four.
Brace yourselves: Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn will play the four band members in the Sam Mendes-directed quadrilogy.
Normal People and Gladiator II star Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney and Harris Dickinson of Babygirl and Triangle of Sadness fame will play John Lennon.
The role of Ringo Starr will be played by Saltburn's Barry Keoghan, while The Fantastic Four actor Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison.
Sony Pictures also released the first promotional image of Mescal, Dickinson, Keoghan, and Quinn as The Beatles, and it's here:
Mendes, who directed Skyfall, Spectre, and Revolutionary Road, announced the casting news at CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas on March 31, alongside the four stars.
The four films will tell the individual stories of each band member. "Each one is told from the particular perspective of just one of the guys," Mendes explained at CinemaCon, per the BBC. "They intersect in different ways — sometimes overlapping, sometimes not."
The Sony Pictures production will be produced by Sam Mendes, Pippa Harris, Julie Pastor, and Alexandra Derbyshire.
The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will hit cinemas in four parts in April 2028.
