The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is lending some notes for Sam Mendes‘ biopic on the musician.

According to a new interview with the New York Times, Starr and Mendes spent “two days” going over the script “line by line” and Starr “offered extensive notes” in order to make the film more accurate to his personal life and experiences.

“He had a writer — very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen [his first wife] and I,” Starr told the publication. “That’s not how we were. I’d say, ‘We would never do that.’”

However, after they went over revisions, Starr felt content with the script. “He’ll do what he’s doing,” he said, before adding, “and I’ll send him peace and love.”

There are four biopics on each Beatles member being made by Sony. Barry Keoghan is portraying Starr. Keoghan shared his experience of being nervous while meeting the Beatles icon. “It was sort of one of those moments where you’re in awe and you’re just frozen,” the Saltburn actor recalled.

“When I was talking to him, I couldn’t look at him. I was nervous, like right now. He said, ‘You can look at me,’ And again — you’re playing Ringo Starr,” he said. “My job is to observe and take in kind of mannerisms and study, but I want to humanize him and bring feelings to him, not just sort of imitate him.”

He added that the two “just sat in the garden, chatting away” and that Starr was “absolutely lovely.”

Paul Mescal will star as Paul McCartney; Harris Dickinson as John Lennon; and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. All four of the biopics are set to open in theaters in April 2028.
