The story will be told from the perspective of each of its members, in an attempt to capture their unlikely journey from Liverpool to the center of global culture.<\/p>\n

Mendes is preparing a total of four independent films about the famous British band that revolutionized the music scene in the 1960s, all of which will be released in theaters in April 2028.<\/p>\n

This is the first feature-length narrative film to obtain the musical rights to The Beatles’ extensive catalog of hits, ranging from ‘Strawberry Fields’ to ‘Let It Be’ and ‘I Am the Walrus’ and ‘Yellow Submarine’, among others, reported Agencia EFE.<\/p>\n
