Jeff Jones will executive produce for Apple Corps Limited.[2] In June 2024, Harris Dickinson was in contention to play Lennon.[3] Krysty Wilson-Cairns was revealed to have written the screenplay.[4]
Filming
[edit]Principal photography is scheduled to begin in mid-2025.[5] In June 2024, it was reported that cinematographer Roger Deakins was offered the opportunity to collaborate with Mendes on the project.[6]
