Beatles cast sprints through Marylebone in Hard Day's Night recreation
Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson sprinted through London's Marylebone Station for the forthcoming Beatles films.
Images published on 20 September 2026 show the three actors running through the station in a recreation of the opening of "A Hard Day's Night", according to TMZ. The sequence shows band members fleeing swarms of adoring fans, as reported by Variety. The location for the running scene was Marylebone Station.
Keoghan plays Ringo Starr, Quinn plays George Harrison and Dickinson plays John Lennon, with Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, according to Variety. Mescal was not pictured in the Marylebone running shots featured in the latest images. The three runners carried that particular setup on their own, in period dress and with cameras rolling in a working station.
The films form a four-part project from Sam Mendes, as reported by People. Each of the four films focuses on a different member of the band, according to Variety. In plain terms, that means four separate cinema biographies, which are films based on real lives, made as a linked set and shot on a long production schedule.
All four are scheduled for cinema release in April 2028, according to Variety. Four related titles in one month is an unusual claim on the release calendar, where studios usually give big titles room to breathe. It places the whole set in the spring corridor, the weeks before the summer season when cinemas programme their heaviest slate of large releases.
The station shoot follows another recreation of a famous Beatles image. The cast, including Mescal, were seen restaging the "Abbey Road" album cover for the multi-part biopic, according to Variety. That Abbey Road setup was planned to use about 80 extras and vintage vehicles, as reported by Deadline. Extras and period cars are the standard tools for closing a modern street and selling it as the past.
What makes this stand out is the choice of moments. The production is not starting with obscure dates from the archive. It is filming the pictures people already carry in their heads, the run from the fans and the walk across the road, and letting passers-by watch them happen again in real locations.
