It's been quite some time since we've heard any whispers from director Sam Mendes and his highly anticipated plans for a "Beatles" film franchise. Widely recognized for his Oscar-winning masterpiece "American Beauty" and the blockbuster Bond films "Skyfall" and "Spectre," Mendes isn't just stepping into the ring with a daring fictional narrative about the legendary band; he's embarking on a quartet of films, each dedicated to a different Beatle: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
And now, it seems that things are finally starting to move forward. A recent THR profile highlighting the latest crop of rising stars in Hollywood, which includes the likes of Austin Butler, Jacob Elordi, Florence Pugh, Glen Powell, and others, reveals that they are all poised at the top of the list for major studio roles. Among these coveted parts is the opportunity to portray one of the Fab Four in Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles movies.
