Washington DC [US], July 6 : 'The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr is making sure his biopic is just right and doesn't account for false information on his life. Starr admitted that he spent two days with director Sam Mendes reviewing the script of his biopic, as reported by Variety.
In its recent profile on The Beatles drummer, the New York Times reported as quoted by Variety, Starr met with director Sam Mendes to discuss his own biopic.
Over "two days," Starr went over the script with Mendes "line by line" and offered "extensive notes" to make sure it was as true to life as possible. One particular area of focus was on Starr's family and first marriage to Maureen Starkey Tigrett, reported Variety.
"He had a writer very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I. That's not how we were. I'd say, 'We would never do that,'" said Starr as quoted by Variety.
As per the outlet, Starr added that he was quite comfortable with his depiction after the edit session and trusted Mendes to carry through with the vision.
Starr added, "But he'll do what he's doing, and I'll send him peace and love."
Mendes plans to release four Beatles biopics in April 2028, each one from a different band member's perspective. The project is titled "The Beatles - A Four-Film Cinematic Event." It is currently unknown whether the movies will be released all at once or in weekly instalments throughout April.
As for casting, Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn will portray George Harrison, Barry Keoghan is Starr and Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, reported Variety.
The logline for the four-part saga reads, "Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary," as quoted by Variety.
