Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes, known for "Skyfall," is moving forward with his ambitious four-part biographical film series on The Beatles, with new casting details emerging today. According to acclaimed entertainment journalist Jeff Sneider on his blog, The InSneider, Anna Sawai — who garnered significant buzz last year for her dual Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress in a Drama Series for "Shōgun" — is currently the top choice for Mendes and Sony Pictures to portray Yoko Ono, John Lennon's second wife.

This highly anticipated biopic quartet will feature four distinct films, each told from the perspective of a different band member. Paul Mescal is set to star as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr, Joseph Quinn has been cast as George Harrison, and Harris Dickinson will portray John Lennon. Mendes reportedly aims for a 2027 release for all four films, though specific dates remain unannounced. Industry observers widely consider this simultaneous release strategy to be exceptionally challenging and potentially unrealistic.
