Headline: Sam Mendes to direct landmark Beatles biopic project
Caption: For the first time ever, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, and their company Apple Corps Ltd. have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film. But rather than one movie, Skyfall filmmaker Mendes will direct four, one told from each band member's perspective. "I'm honoured to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies," Mendes said in a statement.
