Why ? Just why ?

You are literally telling a story that even non fans of the group know. Literally the most famous band for a generation and one of the most reported on.

Highly influential- it’s just one of those roles that no matter what you do - there are going to be critics picking you apart and saying you did something wrong.

There was a huge swing between the Beatles in the Cavern Club to Hamburg to Beatlemania and then to the move to the studio solely before everyone started doing their own thing with the White Album and Abbey Road.

Even 4 different movies - it’s just way too much to make
movie about. Yesterday was a nice movie because it WASNT a Beatles biopic but a fictional spin on their impact. Trying to tell the story to people who know it is just a thankless task - kinda like the Elvis movie.

I can see your point

So much to squeeze in

I really liked the Elvis movie though and even my teen kids did too

With Elvis - he’s a tad older and there were 3 very distinctive “eras” - Elvis as a pop act, the ‘68 Comeback special and Old and bloated Elvis doing Vegas shows.

Doing a movie on a single person and with all the focus on that person - it’s possible. Making 4 separate movies on the Fab 4 is just harder.

It would be like trying to make a movie about the Stones - pretty damn hard to do. I mean everyone above say 40 or so knows who Mick Jagger is - most would recognize Keith Richard’s - but a lot of people for example have no clue who Brian Jones was or his connection. The Stones when they came to America were very different than the Beatles who everyone thought they would be - kinda like they should just imitate the Beatles and be another pop act and not an English blues band.

If you tried to do a Stones movie - you’d have a very similar issue..it’s a hard transition from London, to coming to the States and going to Chess records - to surviving Beatlemania and retaining their own identity and then losing Brian to then jumping to Altamonte on to country honk/Graham Parsons before coming back in the later 70s as an arena band once again following the collapse of punk/disco before becoming the band that would never die.

Some crazies think Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike,
I posted on that a while back.

Yeah, he's the same as he's always been despite the fact that he somehow gained 2 inches in height, changed eye colour, and changed his voice as voice analysis has already proven.
