Talking about the casting choices, director Sara Sugarman said: "The actors playing the Beatles are an extraordinary group. They ooze that very visceral feeling of the 60s, are charming, playful, and so authentic."
She continued: "I have no doubt that Jay Leno will capture the essence of Ed Sullivan perfectly. His own experience as an American television host will bring forward a natural, and accurate portrayal and add an incredible element of modern showbiz to the story."
Other recent castings include Emily Watson (Apple Tree Yard) as Epstein’s mother Malka “Queenie” Epstein, Eddie Marsan (Ridley Road) as Brian’s father and successful businessman Harry, Omari Douglas (It’s A Sin) as Lonnie Trimble, Epstein’s ever-trusted confidant, and Rosie Day (Outlander) plays Merseybeat star Cilla Black.
Filming began in Liverpool last month but had to be paused for three weeks. The shoot will move over to the U.S in 2022.
