While Sam Mendes’ Biopsal project on the Beatles Avanza, Ringo Starr wanted to take his stone to the building. In an interview with the New York Times, the famous drummer revealed that he had worked with the director to correct the scenario of the film dedicated to his life, believing that certain scenes were not faithful to reality.
Ringo Starr indicates having spent two full days with Sam Mendes to read the scenario of the “line” biographical film and try to make his character, embodied by Barry Keoghan, as faithful as possible for reality.
The former Beatles wanted to return to certain passages from the film who mentioned their relationship with their first wife, Maureen Starkey Tigrett, with whom there were three children before separating.
“He (Sam Mendes) had a screenwriter, a very good screenwriter, an excellent reputation, and wrote it remarkably, but that had nothing to do with Maureen and me,” he said.
“It wasn’t how we were. I said: ‘We would never have done that,” he added, and added that he was now “much more comfortable” with the movie after these corrections.
