Ringo Starr Made Script Changes to Sam Mendes’ Upcoming Beatles Biopic: ‘That’s Not How We Were’

 Director Sam Mendes thought he was all set with the script for his massive biopic The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, until he got a bunch of “corrections” from Ringo Starr, 85, who — along with Paul McCartney, 83 — are the only two surviving members of the Fab Four.

The demanding drummer reportedly spent two days pelting the director of the James Bond flicks Skyfall and Spectre with “extensive notes” insisting on script changes.

Most of the “Yellow Submarine” stickman’s gripes had to do with him and first wife Maureen Starkey Tigrett, mom of their three kids, including drummer Zak Starkey. “He had a writer — very good writer, great reputation — and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I,” Ringo insists to The New York Times. “That’s not how we were. I’d say, ‘We would never do that.’ ”

The epic stars Barry Keoghan as Ringo, Paul Mescal as Paul, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and is due out in 2028.

Ringo says he accepts that bossman Mendes “will do what he’s doing” and in the end, “I’ll send him peace and love.”
