Cameras Roll in Liverpool for Sam Mendes’ Four-Part Beatles Films

Period sets across Liverpool mark the project’s push toward a 2028 release.

Overview

  • Crews filmed at John Lennon’s former home on Menlove Avenue in Woolton, where Paul Mescal was seen as Paul McCartney and Leanne Best appeared as Aunt Mimi.
  • City Road in Walton was transformed with 1960s storefronts, vehicles and props, with a posted road closure in place until 1am on 28 February.
  • Residents in parts of Dingle received notices informing them that filming for the Beatles series will take place there.
  • The project consists of four interconnected films directed by Sir Sam Mendes, each told from a different Beatle’s perspective and aiming for a 2028 theatrical rollout with Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Joseph Quinn in the lead roles.
  • Locals reported rising visitor interest around Beatles landmarks as production proceeds, following earlier shoots that turned London streets into 1960s New York.
