Who was asking for this?

No, no, no. And no.

I’ll watch the Paul one. I’ll watch the John one but only if they leave out Yoko

I will probably miss the Ringo one unless it's a slapstick comedy.

I'll watch them. Not sure how much there is that's left to tell about the Beatles years, but if they focus on the post-Beatle years, it could be an interesting story on each as they'll differ.

George Harrison and Ringo Starr are the only ones that would remotely interest me.

R6 Those are the ones that will flop the hardest

Yoko is on speed dial to her lawyer.*

*Yoko, see Olivia de Havilland vs. Ryan Murphy

The big question is who will they get to play Cilla Black?

All you need is "Yellow Submarine."

The Beatles made a huge mistake when they were late to the streaming music game and lost an entire generation... maybe two. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the box office. Young people just do not care about The Beatles like Generation X and the Boomers do.

Closest indicator we have is the movie Yesterday from 2019. It made $156 million, which is peanuts for a project of the scale that Sam Mendes is doing here. You also have to consider that the generation that loved the Beatles is literally dying more and more as time goes on.

Fuck no. These are somehting that only mostly elderly people would watch.

I grew up believing one could be a Stones fan or a Beatles fan, but not both.

I won’t watch, but hope Terri Hemmert has a blast.

There are 5 Beatles movies out there: A Hard Days Night (1964), Help! (1965), Magical Mystery Tour (1967) Yellow Submarine (1968) and Let it Be (1970).

Also there was a Beatles animated series that aired on ITV (UK) ABC (USA) and ABC (Australia) from 9/25/1965 -10/21/1967.

Just restore and release those to theaters and streaming services.

I can't wait for this. I hope it'll be good.

Ugg. Another reason to skip these four movies.

I suppose they could make it even worse and cast Adam Driver as George Harrison.

At least Barry Keoghan isn't playing Paul .

But what about meeee

by Anonymousreply 19November 27, 2024 7:10 PM

I think it is a really interesting idea to tell their story from the four individual points of view.

It could be terrible, or it might actually be really good.

by Anonymousreply 20November 27, 2024 7:10 PM

I'm elderly. And I'm not going to watch. I've seen all the movies and cartoons and read a whole lot of books about them.

I have sufficient.

R15, Yellow Submarine sucks. Other than some very bad music and a short appearance at the end, it’s almost not a Beatles movie.

by Anonymousreply 22November 27, 2024 7:15 PM

"A Hard Day's Night" has had a Criterion release. Wish they'd do that with "Help" also.

by Anonymousreply 23November 27, 2024 8:26 PM

Let's see:

"Shit Paul Movie"

"Shit John Movie"

"Shit Ringo Movie"

"Ultra-Shit George Movie"
