Over a decade after their 1970 London formation, the group, consisting of guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, bassist John Deacon, and singer Freddie Mercury, was one of the biggest stadium rock acts in the world, and would remain so throughout most of the '80s.

When we talk about the brand and the cultural impact that is the music within the lives of humanity, one of the most blatantly obvious descriptors easily has to be inspiration. Not only for those artists and musicians that create melodies, of course, but also for the ripple effect of the people that hear those notes stacked in just a certain way.

Do you ever find yourself thinking about the origins of great musicand the artists that made it?

What did the picture look like when those bones first had their flesh?

Sam Mendes’ The Beatles movies promise to be a cinematic event, and if you’re already excited about it, there’s a Beatles documentary on Disney+ that is worth checking out. Sam Mendes has done a bit of everything in his career as a filmmaker, beginning in 1999 with the critically acclaimed psychological drama American Beauty.

The Oscar-winning director, known for American Beauty, Skyfall, 1917, and more is well into developing his ambitious four-film project about the legendary rock group, which will officially be titled The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event. While there was speculation about which four lead actors would be cast as Beatles' Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, Mendes took the stage at CinemaCon to confirm his main cast. All four Beatles movies are set to release in theaters in April 2028.

The first release date for all four of The Beatles movies have been revealed after director Sam Mendes hyped the "first bingeable theatrical experience." Mendes' The Beatles biopics will tell the story of the famous band across four different perspectives, with every movie happening through the eyes of a different band member.
