Definitely a nitpick but it bothers me that George's eyes are blue. IMDB says the movie should come out this year. Concerned that the director has changed 3 times during production.

Thanks Paula, yeah it's nice to shake things up with something a big more loose and intimate. Glad you're enjoying them!

James Michael Calderone

Good vid, was not aware of this one. Listed in IMDB as filming. Looking forward to this!

Paula

Oh how did I miss this? Thanks for making me aware of this biopic, can't wait for it to come out! The casting looks really good, plus it is always good to have a few new faces in a film like this. Agree 100% about the hair though, it would be so easy to fix!Also, I really enjoy these more "casual" videos as well.

I hope so too. My fifth Beatle nomination is always George Martin, but Epstein is a close second.

The moustache is hilarious.

I had no idea this was coming out! i totally agree the casting for john and george are super, i’m excited to hear your thoughts when it’s released

So glad you commented on this!! I had no idea about the director situation until now & that makes me nervous. And I hate to mention it but…Bohemian Rhapsody had a similar situation. But I’m hopeful because the quality is obviously much nicer. Plus the casting looks good! With the exception of Ringo but hopefully this guy’s acting distracts me from that.

You basically said everything I thought when I saw those photos! I’m so excited for an Epstein movie - he has always felt to me like the only person truly worthy of the “fifth Beatle” moniker, given how much influence he had in even just keeping the band together (as we heard George and Paul discuss in the Get Back doc). Hoping they handle issues related to his sexuality and his death with sensitivity…

I feel like Ringo's actor is the only one who doesn't look too much like the guy, but I'll give him a chance. Your note on the haircuts did remind me that I watched 'Get Back' and noticed that George Harrison looked a lot like Peter Capaldi, but in the 'John and Yoko' biopic, Peter looked odd to me entirely because of the awful wig and fake mustache. Goes to show how important that kind of thing is, I guess.

Elliot Roberts

Yeah here’s hoping! Also, on closer inspection of Ringo’s kit… well I won’t continue to nitpick but come ON guys!

I didn't even know this was a thing so I'm excited to see it, the casting looks pretty great but I agree with you on the nitpicks. I hope they do Brian justice especially hearing that they changed directors yikes
