Sam Mendes' vision for the series

The films will be directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, 1917). Speaking at CinemaCon, Mendes shared his vision for the project, explaining that each movie will focus on one band member:

"Each one is told from the particular perspective of just one of the guys," Mendes said. "They intersect in different ways—sometimes overlapping, sometimes not. They're four very different human beings. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply. But together, all four films will tell the story of the greatest band in history."

The films don't have an official release date but are expected to be released in 2028.
