JAKARTA - The Beatles will be the subject in the latest film by director Sam Mendes. Instead of showing the story of The Beatles, Mendes will direct four films that tell the story of each member of The Beatles.

Launching Deadline, every point of view of Beatles members will be the focus of their film which became the beginning of the disbandment of The Beatles in 1970.

"I am honored to share stories about the best rock band of all time, and excited to challenge ideas about what is meant by traveling to theaters," said Sam Mendes as director.

The film was also licensed by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of the late John Lennon and George Harrison. They allow stories and musical rights to enter the film.

Sam Mendes is an Oscar-winning director who is known for his work, including American Beauty, Skyfall, and 1917.

The film will be distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment along with the production of Neal Street and Apple Corps, which is a company owned by The Beatles.

"We intend to make this an epic and tense cinematic experience: four films, shared from four points of view that share stories about the most celebrated band," said Pippa Harris as producer.

"To have permission from The Beatles and the Apple Corps is a fortune," he said.

Not the first time, The Beatles are the subject of the big screen, some of which are the documentary Let It Be, Get Back, Across the Universe, Lonely Hearts Club Band. They have also starred in their own films such as A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, and Yellow Submarine.

However, for the first time, The Beatles gave permission and support for the creation of feature films. In addition, it is not yet known who will play the four members of The Beatles.
