Many Beatles<\/a> fans anxiously awaiting the four scripted biopics Sam Mendes is directing<\/a> about each member of the Fab Four that are scheduled to premiere in April 2028. Now, in a recent interview<\/a> with the syndicated ABC show On the Red Carpet, Ringo Starr<\/a> admitted that he\u2019s also pretty excited about the movies.<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the project is titled, collectively, The Beatles \u2013 A Four-Film Cinematic Event. Starring in the movies will be Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Starr.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole thing is mad,\u201d Ringo told On the Red Carpet\u2019s George Pennacchio. \u201cMendes is] making four movies at the same time. And there\u2019s got to be a lot of interwoven [segments]. Like John will be in mine and I\u2019ll be in Paul\u2019s, and George and John will be in another scene in mine. Whatever. I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s gonna do it, but I loved the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starr also revealed that he spent time with Keoghan, who has been learning how to play drums for the role. The 33-year-old Irish actor received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for the 2023 film The Banshees of Inisherin. His other credits include Dunkirk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Saltburn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invited [Barry] to the house when he was in L.A., and he was so great to hang out with,\u201d Ringo said. \u201cBut I did tell him, \u2018I know you\u2019re having drum lessons, but don\u2019t have too many.\u2019 \u2026 I tell everybody that. \u2026 Not too many, \u2019cause then you become the machine, where you need to come through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starr Also Had Changes Made to the Script for His Biopic<\/p>\n

Starr also reported that he spent time with Mendes going over the script of his biopic, and he suggested important changes to make it more accurate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sat with Sam for two days in London, and we went through it,\u201d Ringo noted. \u201cAnd he was so great, \u2019cause I said, \u2018That\u2019s not me. That\u2019s nothing that happened.\u2019 \u2019Cause he had a writer writing the scripts, trying to make sense of it. But in mine, well, it just wasn\u2019t right. So anyway, we got rid of a few pages, and he was fine about it. That\u2019s what I loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding the project as a whole, Ringo added, \u201cI\u2019m as excited as you to see four movies, and the crossovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
