Some obvious and... less obvious choices for casting directors

Hollywood does not exactly ration music biopics, but this one feels like a biggie: Sam Mendes, the man behind Spectre, Skyfall and 1917, will be directing four feature films about The Beatles. Each movie will be told from the perspective of the members who are, if you need reminding, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison.

John LennonThe obvious choice: Aaron Taylor-JohnsonThis is the laziest choice on the list because Taylor-Johnson has already played Lennon in Sam Taylor-Wood’s Nowhere Boy, which followed the musician’s teenage years. He has done the work, as they say. If Mendes wanted to start shooting immediately, Taylor-Johnson would just need to pop on a pair of National Health specs and they could start rolling. Alas, we probably need a fresh face and the actor may be a little too jacked post-Kraven.
