Beatles Biopics Film Iconic Abbey Road Scene with New Cast

London's famous Abbey Road zebra crossing became the stage for a modern recreation of a legendary moment as actors portraying The Beatles were spotted filming for an upcoming series of biopics. The scene mirrored the iconic 1969 album cover that cemented the location's place in music history.

Actors Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan were seen traversing the crosswalk, dressed in vintage attire reminiscent of the Fab Four's style during their peak. Dickinson, known for his role in "Triangle of Sadness," dons John Lennon's signature white suit, while Keoghan, who appeared in "Peaky Blinders," embodies Ringo Starr in black. Mescal, recognized from "Gladiator 2," steps into Paul McCartney's shoes, famously depicted barefoot on the original cover, contrasting with his navy blue suit. Quinn, the new Human Torch from "The Fantastic Four," portrays George Harrison in a denim tunic.

This meticulous recreation is part of "The Beatles - A Four-Film Cinematic Event," a project helmed by acclaimed director Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Skyfall"). The ambitious undertaking involves four separate biopics, each dedicated to one member of the legendary Liverpool band. Filming commenced in late 2025, with a simultaneous release date slated for April 2028. Sony Pictures is backing the project, aiming to draw audiences back to cinemas with this extensive exploration of the band's legacy.

Each of them is magnificent, even though these are videos taken with a phone. It will be even more beautiful with cinema cameras.
