Sam Mendes preps Liverpool Town Hall for Beatles biopic filming

BGUK_3690799 - Sam Mendes was seen setting up ahead of today's filming for his Beatles biopic at Liverpool Town Hall, the very building where the Fab Four made their iconic homecoming appearance in 1964. The director has spent much of 2026 filming across Liverpool for his ambitious four-part project, with cast members Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan bringing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to life across recreated 1960s sets throughout the city. The films, granted full life story and music rights by Apple Corps Ltd, are due for release in cinemas in April 2028.
