As a long-time Beatles enthusiast who’s spent countless hours dissecting every note and drumbeat, I can hardly contain my excitement about Barry Keoghan stepping into the iconic shoes of Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ upcoming film. Having grown up idolizing the Fab Four, it feels surreal to witness this historic collaboration finally coming together.
After being announced as part of the cast for “Peaky Blinders,” Barry Keoghan steps into a fresh phase, taking on the role of iconic drummer Ringo Starr in an upcoming Beatles movie directed by Sam Mendes.
After several months of anticipation, Starr directly confirmed Keoghan’s role during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. He expressed, “I think it’s fantastic. I suspect he’s currently learning the drums, and I hope not too much!” Initially, Deadline broke the news about casting plans that sparked speculation around Paul Mescal being considered for the role of Paul McCartney. Harris Dickinson was rumored to play John Lennon, while Joseph Quinn was suggested for George Harrison.
Details regarding the cast haven’t been finalized yet, but it is confirmed that Sam Mendes will helm the project. He aims to produce four standalone movies, each focusing on a different Beatle. While Mendes is set to direct all four films, the identity of the scriptwriter remains undisclosed, along with the sequence in which they will be filmed.
