Sounds like each member is getting an Boh Rhap/Elvis style movie all to be released in 2027

reply

could be overkill

reply

Obviously ppl will go to see John and Paul.. but George? Ringo? (then again Ringo might turn out be one of those ironic huge Barbinheimer 'hey let's all go see Ringo just cuz' things),

all depends on various factors, will the films be good (probably will be), will they be 'cool' capture audiences minds (like Boh Rhap, and a lesser extent Elvis), will everything align/the 'climate' of the movie going era (Barbinheimer, Avengers, Titanic etc)..

CASTING IS KEY.

reply

Well one role is already cast (Austin Butler as Elvis for the Beatles meet Elvis scene)

reply

Ringo and George movies would be more interesting if it was about their solo careers in the 70's. Not sure if this will cover that though.

reply

Sounds like a wonderfully awful idea.
