We don't have children, and, my friends who do have kids are all aged pre-pubescent/all too rapidly approaching adolescence, so, I don't have the keenest insight here, but, considering the age of the two remaining Beatles, this is very likely to be the last massive throw of the shot-put for the brand.

I would love to think, in my naive head, that alone still means something.

The project almost needed to be something of this scale, given the name, but....pffffttt...enough to cover budget + P&A + exhibitor split for four films of this scale? I'm just not sure.

Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan and Jack Thorne to Write Sam Mendes' Four Beatles Films

Tony Award winner Jez Butterworth (“Ford v Ferrari,” “Spectre”), Academy Award winner Peter Straughan (“Conclave,” “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) and BAFTA and Tony Award winner Jack Thorne (“Adolescence,” “Enola Holmes”) are set to write the screenplays for the four theatrical films from Sony Pictures and Neal Street Productions.

Sir Ringo Starr sat down with AP entertainment journalist Liam McEwan to reflect on a milestone year: celebrating his 85th birthday next July 7, 35 years of the All-Starr Band and a recent Grammy win ("I'd like a couple more if you don't mind," he says). He shared stories from his early days as a hopeful dreamer, the musical evolution of The Beatles, and his mindset when behind a drum kit ("I'm in a blackout!"). Starr also opened up about his journey practicing transcendental meditation, photography and the deep bond he still shares with his bandmates.

Jack Thorne is a great writer, so this could be one to watch.

Man must be a massive Beatles fan to pass on both Dune 3 and The Batman Part II for this.

Between doing “more of the same” and doing something original, I think a lot of DPs would choose to do something original.

We'll he's going to be doing a lot of the same for the next year and a half, or however much it takes to shoot these 4 movies.

Perhaps the styles will not be the same between the 4 films, though? Dune 3 and the B2 will be the same styles as the previous movies. But maybe he is a huge fan. Or wants the opportunity to work with Ringo and Paul.
