From our first meeting with Tom Rothman and Elizabeth Gabler, it was clear that they shared both our passion and ambition for this project, and we can\u2019t think of a more perfect home than Sony Pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cApple Corps is delighted to collaborate with Sam, Pippa and Julie to explore each Beatle\u2019s unique story and to bring them together in a suitably captivating and innovative way,\u201d said Apple Corps Ltd. CEO Jeff Jones. \u201cSony Pictures\u2019 enthusiastic support, championing the project\u2019s scope and creative vision from the start, has been invaluable for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cI know I speak for our CEO Tony Vinciquerra, who was instrumental in making this happen, and every Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group colleague around the world when I say: \u2018yeah, yeah, yeah!\u2019\u201d said Tom Rothman, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures\u2019 Motion Picture Group. \u201cTheatrical movie events today must be culturally seismic. Sam\u2019s daring, large-scale idea is that and then some. Pairing his premiere filmmaking team, with the music and the stories of four young men who changed the world, will rock audiences all over the globe. We are deeply grateful to all parties and look forward ourselves to breaking some rules with Sam\u2019s uniquely artistic vision.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a91917, Universal Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sam Mendes, and Neal Street Productions announced a groundbreaking creative endeavor to tell the story of The Beatles with four distinct theatrical feature films.
