Marketing for Beatles Movies Drops
By thom·January 30, 2026
So, Sam Mendes just dropped the first look at his massive Beatles project. It’s not one movie, but four separate films, one for each Beatle, all hitting theaters the same day: April 7, 2028. Talk about a cinematic mic drop.
To stir the pot, Sony hid Beatles-themed postcards around the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts — co-founded by none other than Paul McCartney himself — like a little Fab Four scavenger hunt for students. Each card shows one of the actors: Harris Dickinson as Lennon, Paul Mescal as McCartney, Joseph Quinn as Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo. Honestly, that’s a lineup so British it practically brews tea.
The rest of the cast is equally stacked — Saoirse Ronan, James Norton, Anna Sawai, the works. Mendes says it’s not just about telling their story, but seeing each Beatle “a little more deeply.” Translation: bring tissues and maybe an existential crisis.
Production’s rolling, Sony’s calling it a “bold strategy,” and, honestly, they’re not wrong. The Beatles may have broken up in 1970, but apparently, they’re still finding new ways to drop the hottest release of the decade.
