WEBVTT - MINI: The Beatles Biopic

0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Done anything good.

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>This is exciting, great news about the most important band

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of all time, the Beatles. So for years various movie

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>makers and storytellers have worked out how to tell the

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>stories of the Beatles, which is an incredible story anyway,

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>their friendship, how they changed music forever. I know Steven

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Spielberg for about twenty years has hired three different screenwriters

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and then wasn't happy enough for what they turned in.

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Because if you're going to tell the Beatles story, it

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>has to be incredible because the music.

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Is so much pressure on it. I can't think of

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>another subject matter where people would be as passionate as

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>the story of the Beatles. But this is such a

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 2>cool undertaking. It's going to be four interconnected films, each

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>from the point of view of one of the Beatles.

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a great idea. Sam Mendes is directing it, who

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>did the Bond of Movies with Daniel Craig. Also did

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>American Beauty as well, so I mean he's got his

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>work cut out. They're coming out three is time on

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the same weekend, all four Beatles movies, so there'll be

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a Ringo one George one, there'd be the John one

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Paul one. Paul mescal who's a great Irish actor,

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to playing Paul McCartney. Barry Kyogan. If you've

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>seen Saltburn, great Irish actor, he's Ringo. Yeah, and he

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>looks a little bit like Ringo as well. I don't

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>know who the other two actors are that, but obviously

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be very very good actors. That Sam Menders

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>is high.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yank is so excited about this guy, Harris Dickinson. He

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>was in this on Nicole Kidman movie.

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Ah, oh, I know the one, the rude one. Yes, yes,

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that's it.

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you can take myself on a tree. Rude

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>for me, but the kids loved it.

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Oh yeah.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 2>He's so excited.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>He's been in a couple of things.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>He's a great He's going to be John Lennon.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, so have you seen him. There's been a

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of Beatles movies over the years. There was Backbeat,

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>which came out in the nineties with Stephen Dorf and

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Ian Hartley. That was okay, but it was only about

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>them making it in Hamberg like in the really raw

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>early days.

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Well that's it's such an epic story, how do you

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>tell it in two hours? And that's why this is

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>such a unique but exciting idea for films.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>So you'd be it'd be like a kind of you

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>know how we binge TV shows where you watch four

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>episodes over like in a day or two. You would

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>actually be in one day be able to watch all

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>four Beatles movies. It's like a kind of binge able

<v Speaker 2>And I would feel sorry for one of the Beatles

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 2>if we were like we saw three and like, oh,

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:33.240
