Stop the Beatles Biopics!
We thought we knew what the Beatles looked like. We were wrong. John, Paul, George and Ringo actually look like Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan. That’s according to Sam Mendes, who’s directing four — count them, four — biopics on the Fab Four, one for each bandmate. That’s four films too many, in a genre that’s too awful for words. But here they are: musical biopics. Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, No Direction Known, Walk the Line, Elvis (that one’s about Elvis), Back to Black, The Doors, I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Amadeus was bad enough.
