Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Joseph Quinn have been spotted recreating another iconic Beatles photo shoot.

The actors bringing the Fab Four to life for The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event were spotted filming on the coastline in East Sussex, England, on Sunday, Nov. 8. The stars frolicked around in colorful, ‘60s-style swimsuits at Camber Sands to recreate a beach photo shoot the “Yesterday” rockers once did, decades earlier.

Cameras followed Mescal, 30, Keoghan, 34, Dickinson, 30, and Quinn, 32, who each will star in the four interconnected Beatles biopics as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison, respectively.

The four actors each wore different striped bathing suits and ran in the sand to recreate the 1963 seaside shoot, which the original musicians did in Weston-super-Mare, England.

The original images were published in Reveille, a weekly tabloid that shut down in the ‘70s. They were photographed by Dezo Hoffmann, who worked with the musicians many times, according to the Daily Mail.

Mescal and Keoghan wore red and white looks, while Quinn recreated Harrison’s full-body look in a green and red striped top and long, dark pants. Dickinson, meanwhile, channeled Lennon in a black, yellow and red striped long-sleeve top and dark shorts.

At one point, the actors were also photographed laughing in the back of a modern all-terrain vehicle driving on the beach between takes. Mescal was spotted jumping in the back of the ATV while spending time with his costars, all of whom were still dressed in their retro swimwear.

First announced in 2024, The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event will feature a collection of biopics to give ample room to tell each individual member’s story from their perspectives.

Each of the films will be directed by Sam Mendes, who is helming the ambitious project.

Mendes, 61, has been attached since the project was first announced. The film series’ cast was later announced in March 2025 at CinemaCon in Las Vegas — where the director also opened up about bringing the band’s stories to the screen.

“The Beatles changed my understanding of music. I’ve been trying to make a movie about them for years,” Mendes said to the audience at CinemaCon. He added that the four biopics, which would take a year to film, would be the “first bingeable theatrical experience.”

Before Sunday’s beach photoshoot, the films’ stars Mescal, Keoghan, Dickinson and Quinn were also spotted recreating the Beatles’ iconic Abbey Road photo.

In August, the foursome were spotted strolling across the legendary crosswalk in single file, each wearing an outfit similar to those The Beatles wore for the original photo, which became the iconic cover for their Abbey Road album.

Other glimpses into the upcoming biopics include official images. Back in January, Sony Pictures released the first photos of the actors in character as their respective Beatles members.
