Brent Lang Executive Editor Who should play the Fab Four? After director Sam Mendes announced Tuesday that he plans to make four separate movies about the Beatles, one from the perspective of every member of the most famous band in history, every actor with a serviceable Liverpool accent and the ability to carry a tune is burnishing their resumes and hoping to score an audition.
But John, Paul, George and Ringo were icons for a reason. Finding the right actor to play each of them will be nearly impossible because so few people have that rare combination of singing ability, sex appeal, charm and that certain something that separates pop music deities from the merely talented.
So with that in mind, here’s a list of actors who might have what it takes to bring moviegoers along on a magical mystery tour. Best Known For: Joining the rebellion in the “Hunger Games” films, then melting hearts in “Me Before You.” Why He’d Make Beautiful Music: He channeled his inner rock god in “Daisy Jones & the Six,” the Amazon mini-series in which he did his own singing as the leader of a band. Why He Hits the Wrong Notes: He’s got the charisma, but can he capture Lennon’s darker side? Best Known For: Battling primordial monsters in “Godzilla,” entering the Avengers’ orbit for a hot second in “Age of Ultron,” and taking a pretty memorable bathroom break in “Nocturnal Animals,” which earned him a Golden Globe.Why He’d Make Beautiful Music: More than a decade ago, he played Lennon as a teenager in “Nowhere Boy,” perfectly channeling his moody intensity.Why He Hits the Wrong Notes: Been there, done that.
