Zero Day marks the second political thriller series that has earned Lesli Linka Glatter an Emmy nom for best directing.

“I always try to mix it up,” the nine-time Emmy nominee (seven of which she earned for Homeland) says of the Netflix limited series that stars Robert De Niro as a former U.S. president tasked with investigating a catastrophic cyberattack.

Here, the president of the DGA, which was involved in the recent passage of Ab 1138 — a new law that bumps California’s film and television tax credit up to 35 percent — shares her hope that her new project, a TV adaptation of Araminta Hall’s 2020 novel, Imperfect Women, leads by example.

The Zero Day script came to you with De Niro attached. What does it take for you to say yes to a script these days?

This additional episode will include previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Starr,...

At this point, restoring famed Beatles performances is familiar territory for Giles Martin.

The producer, son of legendary “fifth Beatle” George Martin, has worked on Fab Four material for nearly 20 years since he first oversaw the music with his father on Love — the 2006 Beatles Cirque du Soleil show — subsequently producing everything from anniversary editions of albums to the so-called “last Beatles song” with 2023’s “Now and Then.”

Now, Martin has secured his third Emmy nomination for sound mixing for his work on the documentary Beatles ’64, and he’s looking to earn a second victory following his 2022 win for The Beatles: Get Back. This latest nomination is both affirming and surprising, Martin tells THR, given that it’s one of the most technically difficult archival Beatles projects he’s taken on to date.

“The material we had, as far as audio quality goes, was so bad, and we had...

Apple TV+ is now a significant player in the streaming industry and has successfully competed against established legacy studios like Disney and Warner Bros. Its success can be attributed to its backing of original content across a wide range of genres. From sci-fi dramas like Severance to heartfelt comedies like Ted Lasso and sprawling epic galactic sagas like Foundation, the streamer has dipped its toes in it all.

Since 2019, Apple TV+’s original library has only grown, and that’s great for the subscribers who want to watch gripping new and original shows. However, that’s not so great for us as we have to curate the top 50 amazing Apple TV+ original shows based on audience reception, critical acclaim, originality, and storytelling quality. But it’s an interesting task to undertake.

Paul McCartney announced the dates for his first North American tour since 2022.

The Got Back 2025 tour is slated to kick off in Palm Desert, California, on September 29 at the Acrisure Arena. With 18 following dates, McCartney will perform in cities such as New Orleans, Nashville, Buffalo and Ontario, before concluding on November 24-25 with two nights at the United Center in Chicago.

The tour will see McCartney’s longtime band join him on stage, including Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums).

Paul McCartney was rumored to have had heart surgery in 2007. In January 2008, The Guardian reported that several of the Beatles’ singer’s friends revealed that he underwent a heart surgery in September 2007. However, it was later reported that the concerning news about the singer was a hoax.

It was reported that the surgery was aimed at opening several blocked arteries of the singer. Further, it was shared that McCartney underwent the procedure in a private hospital in London. The outlet even quoted the said friend, sharing:

It was a routine procedure and Paul is in excellent health. Fans certainly have no need to worry. He immediately returned to a busy schedule, performing in Paris and London the following month. Anyone who saw him singing with Kylie on Jools Holland’s BBC2 show on New Year’s Eve will have seen that he is back on top form.

Lena Dunham is making her TV return with “Too Much,” loosely based on her own experience moving to London and meeting her husband, British musician Luis Felber.

With Dunham deciding not to star in “Too Much,” “Hacks” breakout Megan Stalter stars as Jessica, who meets indie musician Felix, played by “The White Lotus” Season 2 star Will Sharpe. Don’t worry, though, Dunham still appears on-screen as Jessica’s sister, who’s dealing with her own issues in her marriage (her husband is played by “Girls” star Andrew Rannells).

There are plenty of other “Girls” and “Camping” casting Easter Eggs in “Too Much,” with a slew of A-listers popping into the Netflix romcom series, including Naomi Watts, Jessica Alba, Rita Ora and Andrew Scott, among others.

Paul McCartney indeed got back. The Beatle posted on his Instagram on July 9, encouraging fans to sign up for his newsletter to get updates about his upcoming tour dates, and the next day, he made the long-awaited announcement. He will be bringing his Got Back tour to North America. The presale will begin next week, and fans already can't wait. The Beatles legend will be visiting places he's never played before, allowing thousands of fans to experience something they've dreamed of for years.

McCartney's Got Back tour has been going on for a long time, and the 83-year-old legend has no intention of slowing down. He first took his tour to North America in 2022. The name "Got Back" referred to the return to the stage after the pandemic. But now, almost three years later, he's announcing a new leg of the tour.

The Beatles’ Apple Corps Ltd. has announced its new CEO, British executive Tom Greene. The Beatles originally founded Apple in 1968 to handle their creative and business interests, with their longtime friend and lieutenant Neil Aspinall as the first CEO. But Apple has kept busy in recent years, as the band’s music keeps getting bigger all the time.

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, and Sean Ono Lennon said in a joint statement, “We are thrilled to welcome Tom Greene as CEO. We have a lot of exciting plans and...

Apple Corps Ltd., the operating company that oversees creative and business interests of The Beatles, has tapped British executive Tom Greene as CEO, effective September 25.

He will be only the third CEO in the history of the storied company launched in 1968 to manage The Beatles’ intellectual property canon, administering the legendary band’s recorded music catalog along with film, theatrical and book publishing rights and piloting award-winning projects over the years. The firm is currently collaborating on one of the most ambitious Beatles venture yet with Sony Pictures Entertainment and filmmaker Sam Mendes — four separate theatrical films, one on each of the member of the band. It’s the first time Apple Corps and The Beatles – Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison – have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.

Greene previously ran Pottermore Publishing and Wizarding World Digital,...

The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (Iffla) will spotlight the acclaimed stage adaptation of “Life of Pi” during its expanded Industry Days program. The panel “Bringing Life of Pi to Life – From Page to Stage” will explore the journey of transforming Yann Martel’s beloved novel into groundbreaking theater featuring innovative puppetry and staging.

Cast members Savidu Geevaratne, Sharayu Mahale and Sorab Wadia will participate in a conversation about representation, adaptation and the cultural significance of a South Asian-led narrative on Broadway and beyond.

The panel is part of Iffla’s robust two-day industry forum scheduled for May 8-9, 2025, at the Landmark Theatres Sunset in Los Angeles, which has been expanded following last year’s successful inaugural edition.

“Following the tremendous success of last year’s inaugural Industry Day, the expanded Industry Days offers a vital, curated space for visionary creatives from South Asia and its diasporas to connect,...

In “Eulogy,” one of the final episodes of Season Seven of Black Mirror, a lonely man named Phillip (Paul Giamatti) learns that an old flame has died, and he’s been asked to contribute to a unique kind of eulogy wherein an AI guide (Patsy Ferran) pulls his consciousness into old photos to mine memories. Phillip claims not to remember much about the woman, but, over the course of the episode, his blurry memories sharpen, and he admits to himself that he never stopped loving her — that his own hubris kept them apart.

Wait, what? Sony Pictures has announced the cast of The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, directed by Sam Mendes, and it's impressive. Harris Dickinson (John Lennon), Paul Mescal (Paul McCartney), Barry Keoghan (Ringo Starr), and Joseph Quinn (George Harrison) will star in four interconnected movies, all coming to theaters in April 2028. It's being called the first "bingeable" movie experience. The project marks the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles – Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison – have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film. The logline is simple:

Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary. The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event.

Don't believe everything you hear. That's the word from Céline Dion's representatives, who are warning fans about "unsanctioned, AI-generated music purporting to contain Céline Dion's musical performances, and name and likeness." These tracks are "currently circulating online and across various digital service providers. Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved, and are not songs from her official discography."

A five-time Grammy winner, Dion has one of the most famous voices in music and recorded some of the most iconic songs of the 1990s, including "Because You Loved Me" and "My Heart Will Go On." But her musical output has slowed in recent years as Dion has struggled with stiff-person syndrome, an affliction she was diagnosed with in 2022 and which affects her singing voice. "I’ll be on stage. I don’t know when exactly, but trust me I will scream it out loud," she told the BBC last year.

All eyes and ears in London were on the Brit Awards 2025 on Saturday night, with Charli Xcx leaving the 45th edition of the ceremony with four newly won trophies, plus a fifth previously announced one, and Chappell Roan receiving two honors. The Brit Awards, presented by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), took place at the O2 Arena, honoring the best in British and international music.

Charli Xcx had entered the evening leading the nominations with five, while Dua Lipa, The Last Dinner Party and Ezra Collective received four nominations each.

Hosting the ceremony was Jack Whitehall, who met Squid Game Soldiers, aka Triangles, in a video intro and joked about being a Taylor Swift fan.

Late in the show, Whitehall struck a much more somber note when he introduced a special video tribute to Liam Payne. He called the late One Direction star “a very special person who meant so...

“We had a blast — and you were the blasters!” Paul McCartney told the crowd at the end of his surprise Tuesday show in New York City. McCartney played a spontaneous gig at the Bowery Ballroom, a beloved rock bar on the Lower East Side that holds only 575 people. He was presumably warming up to play the Saturday Night Live anniversary this weekend. But he blew the minds of a few hundred shocked but lucky fans, none of whom woke up that day imagining they might be in store for a McCartney show.

Studiocanal is heading into a new era. Not only is the Paddington producer coming off the back of a banner year, with its titles having grossed close to $300M at the global box office in 2024 (up 94% year-on-year), but in December its parent company Canal+ made a headline-grabbing debut on the London Stock Exchange after it was spun off from Vincent Bolloré’s French media conglomerate Vivendi.

While the launch was well below the €6.851Bn (£5.71Bn) valuation Vivendi had hoped for – Canal+ floated on the Lse with an initial market value of £2.5Bn ($3.1Bn) – internally, the IPO (which marked the largest debut on the Lse since 2022) is viewed as a promising next step for the company as it continues the growth trajectory it has been on across the last two decades.

Beyoncé won her first ever Album of the Year Grammy over the weekend, with her Cowboy Carter besting the likes of Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and André 3000. But it was Kendrick Lamar – who will be headlining the halftime show at Super Bowl Lix – who was the big winner, taking home five trophies out of just as many nominations. Others with multiple wins included St. Vincent, Charlie Xcx and Jon Batiste.

Lamar’s “Not Like Us” would win a couple of key Grammy awards last night: Record of the Year and Song of the Year, beating out everybody from Beyoncé herself to The Beatles. The Beatles would end up taking Best Rock Performance for “Now and Then”, with Green Day, Pearl Jam and St. Vincent all unable to come out on top of the Fab Four (give or take). Also on the legends front, the Rolling Stones won...

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar were among the big winners at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

For the first time in her legendary career, Beyoncé took home Album of the Year. After being nominated four previous times in the category, Queen Bey finally broke through with her country album Cowboy Carter.

Beyoncé also made Grammy history as the first Black artist to win Best Country Album, and her collaboration with Miley Cyrus, II Most Wanted,” was named Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

Kendrick Lamar was the night’s other big winner, as his industry-shaking Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” swept all five categories that it was nominated in: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video.

Rounding out the Big Four Categories, Chappell Roan was christened Best New Artist.

In a ceremony that alternated between subdued and sublime, reverent and rocking, the 2025 Grammys attempted to offer thoughtful tribute to the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires while also honoring the best in music. Fittingly, the biggest ovations came at the end of Sunday’s ceremony, as the gathered music royalty rose to applaud Los Angeles County firefighters, who took the stage to present the final award, and then again to celebrate Beyoncé, who claimed the night’s ultimate prize: Album of the Year.

That win, for her country-crossover sensation, Cowboy Carter, was her first triumph in the Album of the Year category after four prior losses. Beyoncé, who entered the evening as the most-nominated performer with 11 bids, also took home awards for Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Miley Cyrus for the track “II Most Wanted.” Queen Bey now has 35 career Grammys, extending her record...

The 2025 Grammys were handed out Sunday, with Beyoncé taking home the top award of the night for album of the year and Kendrick Lamar sweeping all the categories in which he was nominated, including song and record of the year.

During the premiere ceremony, she won her first award of the night, taking home her first country Grammy for best country duo/group performance for “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus, making her the first Black woman to win a country Grammy in 50 years. The album of the year award was presented by members of the Los Angeles Fire Department as a way to recognize them for their efforts to contain the wildfires that blazed through the city last month.

During the live telecast on CBS, Lamar won both song and record of the year for “Not Like Us,...

One of the top awards of the night, record of the year, has been awarded to Kendrick Lamar for “Not Like Us” during the 2025 Grammy Awards.

After being presented the award by Miley Cyrus, who quipped that she may just say Beyoncé’s name instead, she eventually revealed that Lamar won the award. Once he made his way up to the stage to accept the golden gramophone trophy, Lamar said he’s “gonna dedicate this one [award] to the city” of Los Angeles.

“Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Inglewood, Hollywood, out to the Valley, Pacoima, Ie, San Bernardino, all that,” he says. “You know, this is my neck of the woods that held me down … since I was in the studio scrapping to write the best raps and all that, in order to do records like these.”

Lamar continues, “So I can’t give enough thanks, you know, to these places that...

The Beatles are Grammy winners. That goes without saying, but the fact that the legendary band is still collecting trophies in 2025 is quite a feat considering it was 60 years ago that they won Best New Artist from the Recording Academy. This year they received two nominations: Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance for “Now and Then.” They won in the latter category during pre-televised portion of the awards, bringing their all-time total to eight.

“Play the Beatles’ music to your kids,” said John Lennon‘s son Sean Ono Lennon, who accepted the award. “I feel like the world can’t afford to forget about people like the Beatles. We need this music in the world; we need peace and love.”

It’s surprising that the Beatles haven’t won more given their world renown and influence on rock ‘n’ roll. Before Sunday, the band had only collected seven previous trophies,...

The Beatles‘ unearthed 2023 single “Now And Then” marked their first new song since 1996, and now, it’s led to the Fab Four’s first Grammy win in 28 years.

At the Premiere Ceremony for the 2025 Grammy Awards, The Beatles won the award for Best Rock Performance for “Now And Then,” beating out songs from Pearl Jam, Idles, The Black Keys, St. Vincent, and Green Day.

Neither surviving members of The Beatles (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) were present at the ceremony, so John Lennon’s son Sean Ono Lennon — who won earlier in the evening for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package for the expanded reissue of his father’s 1973 LP Mind Games — accepted the award on The Beatles’ behalf.

“It’s really incredible… The Beatles have done so much incredible work and they’re still in the culture and people still listen to the music,” Ono Lennon said. “As far as I’m concerned,...

The biggest night in music is finally here! Tonight, the top names in music gathered for the 67th Grammy Awards.

The competition is stiff this year, with Beyoncé leading all nominees with 11, thanks to Cowboy Carter. She scored nods in not only the three major categories — Song, Record, and Album of the Year — but four different genre categories: Country, Pop, Rap, and Americana. Her 11 nominations also made her the most nominated artist in Grammy history with 99 (she previously shared the record, 88, with her husband, Jay-Z).

Take a look at the latest predictions…

Album Of The Year

Beyoncé,...

Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan will be among the top winners at the 2025 Grammys on Sunday, according to the official Gold Derby odds.

The night’s top prize, Album of the Year, will finally go to Beyoncé, based on our latest projections. She has lost four times before, often controversially, to the point that her husband, Jay-Z, called out the Recording Academy onstage while accepting his Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at last year’s show. When her Lemonade lost to Adele‘s 25 in 2017, even Adele admitted in her acceptance speech that Beyoncé deserved the prize. But beware: Beyoncé was the frontrunner in our odds the last three times she lost, and this year she has especially tough competition from Billie Eilish (Hit Me Hard and Soft) and Roan (The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess). See the full category odds below.

Aside from Album of the year,...

The Los Angeles wildfires may have muted the music business’ usual weeklong celebration leading to the 67th annual Grammy Awards, but maybe that’s served to shine a brighter spotlight on music’s biggest night and its nominated artists? In any case, this year’s competition is (Sasha) fierce! When Beyoncé struts into the Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 2, she does so with the most nominations, 11, including three in the top general categories — album, record and song of the year — a feat shared by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter (the last two are also up for best new artist). Will Beyoncé finally win album and/or record, two trophies she doesn’t yet have in her case, despite being the winningest artist in Grammy history? Will Swift add a back-to-back Aoty to her collection (this would be her fifth!)? Or will Charli Xcx have everyone seeing lime green?...

When Sean Ono Lennon, the only child of John Lennon and artist/activist Yoko Ono, was growing up, his father’s third solo album, Mind Games, was “just sort of the lore of my family; his music was always playing in the house,” he tells Gold Derby. Mind Games eventually became not only his favorite John Lennon album, but also one of his favorite albums, period, of all time. It was only when Sean began working on Mind Games — The Ultimate Collection (Super Deluxe Edition) that he realized the album had been poorly received and generally misunderstood by both critics and fans at the time of its 1973 release.

So, now that the Mind Games project has been nominated for Best Boxed Set or Limited Edition Package at this year’s Grammy Awards, Sean feels “very vindicated, because I always felt that Mind Games was one of [John’s] best albums and it...

Paul McCartney is certainly set for life, but in a recent interview with the BBC, the former Beatle stumped for protections for younger artists against A.I. and exploitation by tech giants.

“You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it,” he observed. “They don’t have anything to do with it. And anyone who wants can just rip it off,” the 82-year-old said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

“The truth is, the money’s going somewhere. When it gets on the streaming platforms, somebody is getting it, and it should be the person who created it. It shouldn’t be some tech giant somewhere.”

The 18-time Grammy winner spoke out as the U.K. government considers weakening copyright protections there and allowing tech companies to train their A.I. models on creatives’ content unless the originators specifically opt out.

“We’re the people,...

Paul McCartney called on the British government to protect artists in the face of a new copyright law that could allow for AI to “rip off” creators.

Speaking to the BBC, McCartney warned of the bill that would let tech firms train their AI models on copyrighted works — including music — unless the artists explicitly opted out. The Beatles legend said the change, if approved, could severely impact young artists’ career.

“You get young guys and girls coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it.

Paul McCartney has urged that musicians be protected from the effects of proposed changes to AI regulation.

The legendary singer-songwriter, whose own fortune made through his music is estimated at £1billion ($1.25bn), told the BBC that, if the new rules come into effect allowing AI developers to use creators’ content unless they opt out, it will be much harder for musicians to make a living in the way he did as a songwriter starting out.

Former Beatle Sir Paul said:

“When we were kids in Liverpool, we found a job that we loved, but it also paid the bills… You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it, and they don’t have anything to do with it. And anyone who wants can just rip it off.

“The truth is, the money’s going somewhere… somebody’s getting paid, so...

As a kid, I did a lot of gymnastics and dance. That sort of physical movement is something I really enjoy, especially when you can apply that foundation into something like this [Kraven the Hunter], where there’s a lot of action and stunts. We wanted Kraven to have a signature style that was kind of animalistic, with a bit of fluidity. So we did a lot of things like quadrupeds (going on all fours), parkour, gymnastics, so it was like nothing you’d ever seen before. It was exciting to have that level of detail within the action.

Paul McCartney has set a New Year’s resolution for himself: Finish his next album.

In a short Q&a with fans on his website, McCartney confirmed that he’s “been working on a lot of songs,” but had to put the album “to the side” because of his Got Back Tour (which launched in 2022 and finally wrapped this month with a special London show featuring Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood).

“I’m hoping to get back into that and finish up a lot of these songs,” McCartney wrote. “So,...

Paul McCartney has been enjoying rave reviews for his latest concerts – pleasing thousands of fans with an energetic set that encompasses songs from his entire career, including his time with The Beatles, Wings and his own solo material.

McCartney, now 82, showed no sign of flagging during a set-list that kept him on stage for three hours, but Thursday evening brought an even more special moment for the audience at London’s O2 arena.

The singer-songwriter, behind some of the world’s most famous tunes including Let It Be, Bond theme Live and Let Die and his own Maybe I’m Amazed, was a couple of hours into his concert when he told the audience, “I have another surprise for you.”

He continued: “Bringing to the stage the mighty, the one and only, the almighty, Mr Ringo Starr.”

Starr, now aged 84, appeared as a drum kit was wheeled onto stage, and without further ado,...

Paul McCartney closed out his Got Back Tour on Thursday night at London’s O2 and took the opportunity to reunite with his Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr. During the performance, his last gig of the year, McCartney also introduced the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood and played an old bass guitar that was returned to him earlier this year after being stolen.

Starr joined McCartney during the encore. “We’ve got another surprise for you,” McCartney told the audience. “Bring to the stage the mighty, the one and only Mr. Ringo Starr.

He’s not Mariah Carey, but Paul McCartney has his own way of heralding in the holiday season, which he did with a rare performance of “Wonderful Christmastime” at his Manchester concert Saturday.

McCartney and his band were joined by a group of kids from the You Should Be Dancing Theatre Academy for the performance, one of only a dozen or so times that McCartney has played the seasonal classic live during his lengthy solo career.

The last time McCartney unwrapped “Wonderful Christmastime” onstage was back in 2018, when he played...

In news that can only be described as a thriller, new tracks from the late King of Pop Michael Jackson have been discovered in a storage unit. On the tapes that were found are a dozen tracks that have never been made available publicly…and may never be.

The Michael Jackson songs are said to have been recorded between 1989 and 1991, which would put them between Bad and Dangerous. Of note here is that the unit in which the tapes were found once belonged to music producer and songwriter Bryan Loren, who collaborated with Jackson around this time. The most memorable song here is undoubtedly The Simpsons hit “Do the Bartman”. So if we could get audio of Michael Jackson singing “Can I Borrow a Feeling?” or “We Do”, that’d be great…While that’s unlikely, there is a song that apparently features Jackson rapping on a duet with LL Cool J....

The year was 1999 and as congratulations for my group's project getting the highest score in the class, our teacher invited us to have lunch in her room for a week to watch a movie. We chose the Tim Allen/Sam Huntington flick "Jungle 2 Jungle," which includes a character played by a young Leelee Sobieski. As a 9-year-old, Sobieski was my first celebrity crush, and I accidentally mentioned that I had recently seen "Never Been Kissed" and that "she's so pretty" in the movie. One of the kids in my group was also the class bully, and he wasted no time pouncing on this slip-up. "Are you a d**e or something?" It wouldn't be the last time he'd call me that, nor would he be the only one to do it. After years of therapy — I'll fully admit that my years of hypersexual behavior with men in my teens...

Produced by Martin Scorsese, the new documentary Beatles '64 has debuted on Disney+ with an impressive critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by David Tedeschi, Beatles '64 traces the cultural impact of The Beatles on the United States in the aftermath of their inagural three-week visit to the country in February 1964, following their historic first performances on The Ed Sullivan Show. The film is the latest in a long line of musical documentaries for Scorsese, who directed Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, as well as another doc about a Beatle – George Harrison: Living in the Material World.

Beatles '64 debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a near-perfect score of 97% based on 30 reviews. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw rated it 5/5 and called it "An amazing split-second of cultural history." The Wrap's Matt Goldberg said, "Perhaps 'Beatles ’64' will only appeal to Beatlemaniacs like me, but...

Ringo Starr has commented on reports that Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) will play him in an upcoming biopic about The Beatles. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer discussed the speculation in a recent interview with “Entertainment Tonight’s” Kevin Frazier.

“I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons,” he said. “I hope not too many!” When asked if he had any advice for the actor, Starr showed off his basic drumming tutorial and added, “I’m not asking you to play like me, but you have to have the movement to do this stuff. A lot of people come to the gigs we’re doing and say, ‘My son is taking drum lessons,’ and I say, ‘Not too many I hope.’ You’ve got to let them get their own feel.”

It’s been 60 years since The Beatles first landed in the United States and Beatlemania is still going strong.

Ringo Starr seems to have confirmed that Barry Keoghan will play him in the Starr-centric film in Sam Mendes’ four-part Beatles biopic.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight this week, the Beatles drummer weighed in when asked about the rumored casting, telling the network, “I think he’s great, I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons. I hope not too many.”

While Starr’s remark gives some validity to the Keoghan rumors that had surfaced recently, another source would not confirm the casting based on Starr’s statements. They told Rolling Stone...
