I am of the opinion than an epic 3 hour Beatles biopic covering their lives from 63-70 could be a spectacular movie. Or just a cradle to grave John biopic. The problem is John and Paul would come off like dicks for a substantial portion of it if it was done right. With Paul being alive and Yoko being so protective of John's legacy that's not quite feasible.

No. Biases will play way too big a part in it for it to be a good film.

This epic film about Queen had its leading man leave because they wanted to make the fairytale version of the story rather than the warts and all version. I have no desire to see any biopic like that, whether it be about the Beatles or anybody else.
Also, you make the comparison with Amadeus, but all those people have been dead for hundreds of years. There are innumerable people integral to the Beatles story who are still alive and well, and they for sure would make things difficult.

Do I want a Beatles biopic...I can't say I do to be honest. I would however watch one if it was made.

I'm fine with movies about beatlemania like Across The Universe and Danny Boyle's upcoming musical, but I don't like the idea of a full-on Beatles biopic. Let's keep things the way they are.

I'd like to see a 4 hour documentary directed (or at least produced) by Scorsese.

I would, if it were about better musicians.  |

I was picturing something like Love & Mercy where it focuses on their personal issues and recreating their dynamic in the studio, maybe with it being non-linear. Not just a tick all the boxes hero worship thing. |
