New film being directed by Sam Mendes. As a fan, this is good. But I’ve just seen the casting. Are they having a giraffe?

I thought it was an April fools

I think it's an April Fool.
Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr?! No chance.

I’ve read it’s 4 films that will be realised the same month focussing on each member. I don’t think the casting is up to much tbh

@StoorieHoose you’re right about the four programmes. I hope the casting is an April Fool

Oh god, it’s real, I’ve had an email from the office Beatles newsletter. So sick of Paul Mescal and Barry looks like a melting candle Keoghan.

Clearly I’m the only one who thought the casting of these actors was a good thing then!

NooNakedJacuzziness · 01/04/2025 19:28

I hope they do a good job but no way is Paul Mescal pretty enough to be Paul! Not even Frog Chorus Paul! I know they can't get actors who look identical but come ON

Davros · 01/04/2025 19:33

@NooNakedJacuzziness my thoughts exactly. And that Barry Keoghan is a ridiculous idea, even for lovely Ringo. Paul Mescal could have done John but not Paul

Yes, it’s like they thought “who’s got a big nose? He’ll do for Ringo then!”.

Laurensorrenson · 01/04/2025 19:58

Barry should play John.

Davros · 01/04/2025 20:08

Barry could play Brian Epstein but he was dapper and charming

Nope, he cannot be Paul.

JohnTheRevelator · 03/04/2025 18:01

Harris Dickinson is far too tall to play John. John, Paul and George were all roughly the same height,he is towering above the actors playing Paul and George!

Davros · 03/04/2025 18:06

They’ll have to make him sit down in all the scenes. Should have been Ringo
