The story of The Beatles is heading to the big screen in a never-before-seen way — as four separate theatrical films, each told from the perspective of one member of the iconic band. The ambitious project, directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes and produced by Neal Street Productions, marks the first time that Apple Corps Ltd and the surviving Beatles — Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — along with the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, have granted full life-story and music rights for a scripted feature.
