Barry Keoghan Rocks the Drum Kit: Set to Play Ringo Starr in One Of Sam Mendes' Four-Films-Long Epic Beatles Biographical Saga

In what promises to be a cinematic tribute to one of the most iconic bands in music history, acclaimed Irish actor Barry Keoghan has been confirmed by none other than Ringo Starr himself to portray the legendary drummer in Sam Mendes's forthcoming Beatles biopics. This announcement has sparked a wave of excitement among fans and film enthusiasts, eager to see how Keoghan will bring the spirit of Ringo to the silver screen.

Barry Keoghan, known for his compelling performances in films like "Saltburn" and "The Banshees of Inisherin," is reportedly preparing for the role by taking drum lessons, humorously noted by Ringo Starr with the hope that "he’s not taking too many." The project, directed by Sam Mendes, will not be a single biopic but rather four interconnected films, each focusing on a different member of the Beatles, aiming for a unique narrative approach that explores the band's history from multiple perspectives.

The confirmation came during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where Ringo expressed his approval, signaling that the casting choice for his character has been settled, although official announcements from Sony Pictures are still pending. The anticipation around the casting of the remaining Beatles members is palpable, with names like Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, and Joseph Quinn being tossed around in the rumor mill for the roles of McCartney, Lennon, and Harrison respectively.

The decision to cast Keoghan has sparked a mix of reactions. His ability to embody the quirky and charismatic essence of Ringo, known not just for his drumming but also for his unique personality, is under scrutiny. Fans and critics alike are intrigued by how Keoghan's background and acting style will translate into the portrayal of a figure who was more than just the beat behind The Beatles; he was an integral part of their collective magic.

Some Closing Thoughts:

As the film project moves forward, the casting of Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr is a testament to his rising star status and his versatility as an actor. With the Beatles' legacy as rich and complex as it is, these films promise to be more than mere biopics; they are a celebration of an era, a sound, and a cultural phenomenon, now entrusted to a new generation of actors to reinterpret and reimagine for today's audience.
