Ringo Starr Gave Director Sam Mendes Many Notes for Beatles Biopic

by

The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is lending some notes for Sam Mendes‘ biopic on the musician.

Based on a recent conversation with The New York Times, it’s been disclosed that directors Starr and Mendes thoroughly scrutinized the script, meticulously examining every line for two consecutive days. In this process, Starr provided detailed suggestions to ensure the film more closely mirrored his own life and experiences.

As a gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: “I had an author, incredibly skilled with a stellar reputation, who wrote superbly, but his work was unrelated to my first wife and me. It didn’t reflect our relationship at all. In fact, we wouldn’t have acted that way.

After going through the revisions, I found myself satisfied with the script. “I trust he’ll carry on as planned,” I said, followed by a wish, “May he continue with peace and love.

Four biographical films about each member of The Beatles are being produced by Sony, with Barry Keoghan taking on the role of Starr. Keoghan expressed his feelings about meeting the iconic Beatle, saying, “It was almost like a moment where you’re spellbound and can’t move.” The actor from Saltburn reminisced about this experience.

In our conversation, I found it difficult to maintain eye contact with him because I was feeling quite anxious, much like how I’m feeling now. He then remarked, “Feel free to look at me,” he said. “Remember, you’re playing Ringo Starr,” he added. My role is to observe and absorb his gestures for study purposes, but I aim to make him feel more human and portray emotions rather than simply mimicking him.

I can confirm, as a fellow gamer, we found ourselves engrossed in a peaceful conversation under the open sky, right within the tranquil confines of a lush garden. To my delight, Starr was nothing short of charming and delightful, making our interaction an enjoyable experience.

Paul Mescal is cast as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. These four biographical films are planned to debut in cinemas in April 2028.
