Ringo Starr had some notes for Beatles biopic director Sam Mendes after reading his film's script: 'That’s not how we were. I’d say, 'We would never do that.''

Starr said he gave “extensive notes” to director Mendes while fact-checking the scripts. The scenes in particular that depicted Starr’s family and his first wife, Maureen Starkey Tigrett (whose casting has not yet been announced), were among the sequences that Starr urged to have reworked.

The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said he sat down with Sam Mendes to go over and change parts of the script for the filmmaker's forthcoming biopic of him. The Oscar-winning director has announced plans to make four separate movies about the biggest band in history, one from the perspective of each member.
