Sam Mendes Admits Idea For 4 Beatles Biopics Conceived Before He Heard About TV
READING, ENGLAND—Calling his ignorance “a major oversight,” filmmaker Sam Mendes admitted Monday that he conceived his idea for four Beatles biopics before hearing about TV. “Oh, gosh, well, this is embarrassing,” said the 59-year-old director, who expressed his frustration that no one at Sony Pictures had bothered to tell him about the existence of the medium before green-lighting the four-part production. “Well, it’s too late to turn back now. “I’m not sure what they call them exactly—movie shows, I believe—but they do these multipart series all the time. Apparently, they’re quite popular. Of course I knew televisions existed, as an electronic device. I just thought they were for watching movies.” Mendes went on to admit he was unaware that movies about The Beatles had already been made.
