Pattie Boyd questions Beatles biopics: 'Nobody contacted me'

Pattie Boyd, the ex-wife of George Harrison, has publicly criticised the upcoming Beatles biographical films, claiming she was never contacted by anyone involved in the productions. Four simultaneous biopics, each telling the Beatles' story from a different band member's perspective, are set to release on April 7, 2028.

Pattie Boyd, the former wife of Beatles guitarist George Harrison, has raised serious doubts about the accuracy and integrity of the upcoming series of Beatles biographical films, revealing that not a single person connected to the productions has reached out to her.

Boyd's comments, reported by The Independent, cast a shadow over one of the most ambitious musical biopic projects in cinema history. Four separate films are planned, each depicting the story of The Beatles from the individual perspective of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. All four are scheduled to premiere simultaneously on April 7, 2028.

As a central figure in the life of George Harrison — and notably the inspiration behind both Harrison's "Something" and Eric Clapton's "Layla" — Boyd's exclusion from the research process raises questions about how thoroughly the filmmakers have engaged with those closest to the band members. Her perspective on Harrison's personal and professional life would be considered invaluable by many music historians.

Boyd has not publicly stated whether she supports or opposes the project outright, but her remarks suggest deep scepticism about what the films will ultimately portray, and whether they will reflect the real experiences of those who lived alongside The Beatles during their most formative years.
