John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr of The Beatles
Sony Pictures is gearing up to tackle a monumental project - developing four biopic films each based on the lives of the four musicians from the Beatles. We now have an apparent confirmation of who will be playing at least one of the Beatles: Barry Keoghan, known for his work in Saltburn, is set to portray drummer Ringo Starr - at least, that's according to the musician himself. Keoghan has long been rumored to be in contention for the part, which now appears to be his.
With Keoghan reportedly at the helm, Sony has a major star for director Sam Mendes to work with. Mendes, best known for his films like the Oscar-winning American Beauty and several James Bond installments, is set to direct all four films about the Beatles, each focusing on Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney. Mendes is set to produce the films for his Neal Street Productions banner alongside the Beatles' holding company, Apple Corps Ltd.
However, it was The Banshees of Inisherin that cemented Keoghan's role in Hollywood, co-starring alongside Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Kerry Condon in the Irish-led drama. The film, and Keoghan's performance, garnered critical acclaim, earning him a BAFTA Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He earned further acclaim portraying a downtrodden Oxford student in the aforementioned Saltburn, earning him another BAFTA nomination and a Golden Globe nomination.
