10 Upcoming Movies Nobody Asked For
2. FOUR Beatles Biopics
With musician biopics apparently being in vogue once again, it was just a matter of time before Hollywood finally made one of The Beatles, and frankly, why the hell not? Because the film industry is innately programmed to take an interesting idea and squeeze it dry, of course we're instead getting a four-movie biopic project with a single film focused on each of the band's members.
Back in February, it was announced that the great Sam Mendes would be directing four movies based on the lives of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison, each of which are tentatively set to release throughout 2027. But honestly, are cinemagoers really interested enough in the Beatles' own individual stories to shell out four times, in a single year no less?
This exhaustive approach would be much better suited to a TV series, because cinematically, nobody was asking for four separate movies in place of a single epic group biopic. It will be the least shocking news imaginable when these films collectively underperform at the box office, no matter their eventual quality.
