Cinematic Event is one of the most ambitious on-screen projects of all time: four interconnected biopics of each member of the seminal British Invasion band. As the project's Ringo Starr, Barry Keoghan is loving the experience, especially as they film on location in Liverpool. He recently spoke with Collider's Steve Weintraub while promoting his latest film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
Keoghan discussed getting to know the Beatles, both in person and via his extensive research for the role. When asked about his experience filming the project for Sam Mendes in the same locations where the band had their formative years, Keoghan told Collider:
He also expressed his admiration for the artistry of cinematographer Greig Fraser, who also worked with Keoghan on The Batman. While he couldn't share any updates on The Batman 2, Keoghan was quick to praise Fraser's incredible work alongside Mendes."It's been great working with Greig," said Keoghan. "I've learned so much from watching him and Sam [Mendes] work together and just being a part of that, and how they work together and seeing the stuff he's doing. I've also really upped my game on my photography, and Greig has been showing me a lot of film and photography. I'm addicted now, basically." The Beatles is filming now, but it won't be released in theaters until April 7, 2028.
