The official casting for "The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event" has been announced, featuring Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Aimee Lou Wood, and Mia McKenna-Bruce as the wives of the Fab Four.
Each actress portrays a spouse of one of the Beatles members during the peak of the band's fame in the 1960s.
The four films, directed by Sam Mendes, will each present the story from the viewpoint of a different Beatle:
The story follows their rise from unknown Liverpool musicians in the early 1960s to global superstardom, culminating in their breakup in 1970.
"Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right — and I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure." – Sam Mendes
This is the first time the Beatles and their descendants have granted both music and life rights for a feature film about the band.
Linda (née Eastman) met Paul McCartney in 1967 while working as a photographer.
