1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Done anything good.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: This is exciting, great news about the most important band

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: of all time, the Beatles. So for years various movie

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: makers and storytellers have worked out how to tell the

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: stories of the Beatles, which is an incredible story anyway,

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: their friendship, how they changed music forever. I know Steven

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: Spielberg for about twenty years has hired three different screenwriters

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: and then wasn't happy enough for what they turned in.

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: Because if you're going to tell the Beatles story, it

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: has to be incredible because the music.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: Is so much pressure on it. I can't think of

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: another subject matter where people would be as passionate as

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: the story of the Beatles. But this is such a

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: cool undertaking. It's going to be four interconnected films, each

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: from the point of view of one of the Beatles.

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: It's a great idea. Sam Mendes is directing it, who

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: did the Bond of Movies with Daniel Craig. Also did

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: American Beauty as well, so I mean he's got his

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: work cut out. They're coming out three is time on

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: the same weekend, all four Beatles movies, so there'll be

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: a Ringo one George one, there'd be the John one

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: and the Paul one. Paul mescal who's a great Irish actor,

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: is going to playing Paul McCartney. Barry Kyogan. If you've

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: seen Saltburn, great Irish actor, he's Ringo. Yeah, and he

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: looks a little bit like Ringo as well. I don't

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: know who the other two actors are that, but obviously

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: going to be very very good actors. That Sam Menders

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: is high.

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: Yank is so excited about this guy, Harris Dickinson. He

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: was in this on Nicole Kidman movie.

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Ah, oh, I know the one, the rude one. Yes, yes,

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: that's it.

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can take myself on a tree. Rude

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: for me, but the kids loved it.

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah.

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: He's so excited.

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: He's been in a couple of things.

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: He's a great He's going to be John Lennon.

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so have you seen him. There's been a

41
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: couple of Beatles movies over the years. There was Backbeat,

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: which came out in the nineties with Stephen Dorf and

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Ian Hartley. That was okay, but it was only about

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: them making it in Hamberg like in the really raw

45
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: early days.

46
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: Well that's it's such an epic story, how do you

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: tell it in two hours? And that's why this is

48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: such a unique but exciting idea for films.

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: So you'd be it'd be like a kind of you
