In a discovery that feels straight out of rock history, a series of unpublished letters written by John Lennon have surfaced—revealing that the legendary Beatle once dreamed of producing a Beatles-themed film after the band’s breakup.
The letters, found in a private collection, show Lennon outlining his vision for a surreal, music-driven movie that would feature original Beatles songs, animation, and dreamlike storytelling. In one fragment, he writes:
“Imagine the four of us as characters in a storybook—singing, fighting, laughing. It’s not about fame, it’s about the dream.”
While The Beatles had already made films like A Hard Day’s Night and Yellow Submarine, Lennon’s concept was different—more personal, more experimental. Historians believe the project never moved forward because of the band’s strained relationships in the early ’70s.
Still, the letters paint a fascinating picture of Lennon’s creativity and his undying belief in the band’s magic, even after their split.
For fans, the idea of a Beatles movie that never was is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring—a glimpse of what could have been if the Fab Four had one more chapter to share.
