Filming has commenced for Sam Mendes' forthcoming four-film Beatles biopic, with the production team spotted outside Abbey Road studios in London. The shoot included a recreation of the celebrated Abbey Road album cover, a popular tourist landmark.
Social media footage from Sunday shows the actors portraying The Beatles lining up on the kerb and walking across the road. Harris Dickinson leads the walk as John Lennon, followed by Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.
Mendes announced the project in February 2024, with each film focusing on an individual Beatle. The films have backing from Sony Pictures and the permission of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison. The cast also includes Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, and Lucy Boynton as Jane Asher.
