[xbriyeon]

[simprov]

harry styles for at least one beatle!

[anachan87]

Joe Alwyn for another one!

[yankeesarelove]

no Harry is a young Mick Jagger through and through

[siaht]

Was there some kind of RS film project where he was slated to play Mick or am I dreaming that?

[anachan87]

honestly? That does sound like a cool concept.

[anyasicon]

I agree

Details about release plans will be shared later, but the studio promises the strategy will be “innovative and groundbreaking.”

It'll be interesting to see what they do. People are tired of superhero movies being the only source of cinematic anticipation and I think Barbenheimer finally opened some eyes to that fact.

yeah i'm actually really intrigued by this. execution will be key tho

[maryjanewatson]

it does! it's biopics but at least it's an interesting concept and it's pretty much the only band you could do this with

[ionadelfina]

Seems unnecessary

Fun fact: In 1964, Ringo Starr was the most popular Beatle in the US.
