Beatlemania in London: Behind the Scenes of the Fab Four Biopics
London is currently buzzing with Beatlemania as the city is being transformed into New York City for the filming of four biopics about The Beatles. The movies are set to be released in April 2028. The actors portraying John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr are Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan, respectively. New on-set images show the actors being mobbed by enthusiastic New Yorkers in a scene reminiscent of The Beatles' arrival in America in 1964.
Recently, postcards featuring stills of each band member were released, giving fans a first look at the four-film project. The postcards were initially displayed at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), co-founded by McCartney. In one scene, a fan appears to have ripped off McCartney's suit jacket sleeve, while Ringo captures the chaos on his camera. Lennon and Harrison seem less amused by the frenzy.
The postcard images received mixed reactions from music and film enthusiasts. Some were swayed by the second look at Joseph Quinn's portrayal of Harrison, while others were less convinced by the new images. Fans took to social media to share their thoughts, with some expressing skepticism about leaked set photos and emphasizing the importance of proper lighting and camera work in the final film.
Despite initial criticisms, Joseph Quinn's portrayal of George Harrison received more compliments in the latest images. Some fans appreciated Quinn's attention to detail in capturing Harrison's demeanor. Overall, the excitement surrounding the upcoming Beatles biopics continues to grow as fans eagerly anticipate the release of the films in 2028.
