“Walk Hard” already perfectly cast The Beatles members.

Charlie Rowe was the runner-up to Tom Holland for the Spider-Man role.

Charlie Rowe is also gonna be in Noah Baumbach’s 2025 movie with a lot of other people.

They should have went for unknowns so they could mould them The Beatles look and act like they grew up together Getting four well known distinct people who are all famous ruins this for me

@JOVONO 18 дней назад

The only casting I sort of like is Charlie Rowe as George however they should have just gone for an unknown and definitely had a look at people from Liverpool Paul’s Mescal looks like a mix of Paul, John and Ringo he could have been cast as any of them but he’s a bit too built for Paul and has stronger features than Paul McCartney The casting I want to see is Maya Hawke as Linda Eastman/McCartney

@@mikecat6291 its a universal story. I mean the book came out in the late 50's (I think) so its been around for a long time. I read the book too and I highly recommend it. Its just such good material and then you add the considerable talents of Decaprio, Winslet and Mendes and it just doesn't miss a beat.

@mikecat6291 23 дня назад

@@pedroV2003 too true, and don't forget the "ol hopeless, emptiness"! I feel like it's the movie that cemented Michael Shannon as one of the most peerless character actors in modern film history. And then there's David Harbour who just melts into this role that's like nothing we've seen from him since. Just some of the most transfixing performances of all these actors careers, and we just handwaved it away. Now we are absolutely STARVING for movies like this again.

@jeffreyroedel9804 18 дней назад

Ultimately, I want Mendes to cast the most talented actors who at least somewhat resemble the band. I'm ok with them being known actors, if they are the best. I'd rather that then take a chance on all four unknowns. But Mendes always does well with casting so I'm not worried either way.

movie 1. john, quarrymen to hamburg movie 2. ringo. replacing pete best, beatlemania, US invasion. movie 3. George,. stop touring, death of brian epstien, india movie 4. Paul. get back sessions to break up of band. If they wanted to do it chronologically that is

@henzoewing 23 дня назад

I think the 4 movies approach is an interesting idea. What didn’t work with Bullhemian Crapsody was the fact that the surviving members of Queen demanded that all 4 members get equal screentime. What are they gonna do, say no to the people who have ownership of the music? This way, everyone gets their story told, should be no objections. Hopefully they don’t just add filler to pad out the runtime.

@kevinlakeman5043 17 дней назад

I'm not familiar w/ the guy rumored to be playing Harrison, but the other three are truly quality actors. I just wish biopics weren't generally mediocre to awful. They're gonna do what they can get a sufficient budget for, no matter the quality of the writing and production crew, but I suspect if they do these 4 movies that they'll also be mediocre at best. I'm just about the music, not the People magazine 'intimate personal look at the men behind the music' fodder.

Y’all act like Mendes is a mediocre director lol, he’s an absolutely fantastic director with a string of amazing movies…I will say splitting a Beatles movie up into 4 parts sounds like a bad idea…but I get you can’t probably just have 1 movie for the Beatles cause someone is gonna get left out and not have a big part…but I can’t just imagine people going to see a movie focusing solely on Ringo lol

@GonzoGolf 21 день назад

His last movie was one of the worst movies ever made, completely unwatchable

@harryschiller5368 18 дней назад

No, Mendes is a poor filmmaker. He stages things like a play, unsurprisingly. He over scores everything also. American Beauty is really ham fisted and Road to Perdition is halfway between the Sting and The Godfather, with none of the profundity of Coppola or the spontaneity and humor of Newman and Redford. His British movies are just very stoic and solemn, the Bond movies were overlong. Empire of Light was awful.

@McMasher 22 дня назад

Hot take but it’s George and John that have to be the can’t miss ones. John because of Yoko and his murder, George because I think his spirituality and virtuosity are incredibly important

Harris Dickinson is also way taller than John Lennon and the other rumoured cast members too John was not the tallest and had a pretty solid build at least compared to Paul and George until like 1968/69 when he started getting more into drugs and even then he wasn’t Harris Dickinson skinny until the mid 70s to 1980 when he was on that insane diet
