Filming has begun for four Beatles films with famous faces in Liverpool

In Liverpool, filming has started for the four-film cinematic event on The Beatles that is coming to your screens in 2028.

There will be a series of four biographical films on each member of The Beatles.

Each movie is set to take you on a storytelling journey from the different perspectives of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Filming has officially begun in Liverpool with director Sam Mendes in charge, and he has stated it will take him more than a year to get all four films done.

Filming started in Liverpool and London

City Road in Walton has been closed as filming starts in Liverpool, with rumours flying around that it is for the biopic series of films.

The road closed on Monday, February 23 and will be closed until 1 am Sunday, February 28.

A notice has also been handed to several residents in Dingle about more closures as filming for the film series is set to take place there, too.

Filming in London has also started at Abbey Road, with fans catching a glimpse of some behind-the-scenes action at the start of February.

Famous actors involved

There could be a chance that you may spot one of the array of famous actors involved, so make sure you keep an eye out.

All of the leads who are playing each member of The Beatles are famous names in the acting industry. 

Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, having risen to fame as the lead in the Oscar-nominated satire Triangle of Sadness and for his role as David Von Erich in The Iron Claw.

Paul Mescal is cast as Paul McCartney and is most widely recognised for his breakout performance in the miniseries Normal People and his starring role in Gladiator II.

Joseph Quinn takes on the role of George Harrison after becoming a global household name as Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things.

Barry Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr, following his acclaimed, Oscar-nominated performance in The Banshees of Inisherin and his viral leading role in Saltburn.

As well as the Fab Four, Saoirse Ronan will play Linda McCartney, and Anna Sawai will play Yoko Ono, portraying the two women most central to Paul and John’s later years.
