1968: Os Beatles e Lord of the Rings?

Sim!!! Mas não, não se concretizou. Peter Jackson, que fez os filmes anos mais tarde, explica:
"It has been suggested that had the movie got the green light, it would have seen McCartney as Frodo, Starr as Sam, Lennon as Gollum and Harrison as Gandalf. The Beatles' choice of director? Stanley Kubrick, fresh from making 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Jackson does not refute these suggestions. "Apparently," he says, adding, "Paul couldn't remember exactly when I spoke to him, but I believe that is the case."

He also acknowledges how different his own life might have been if The Beatles had already made The Lord of The Rings.

"Paul said, 'Well I'm glad we didn't do it, because you got to do yours and I liked your film.' But I said to him, 'Well, it's a shame you didn't do it, because it would have been a musical.'"

2021-05: The Beatles and India?

Yes, a new documentary:
https://www.loudersound.com/amp/news/the-beatles-and-india-new-documentary-to-shed-light-on-infamous-beatles-trip

Quoting:

""Rare archival footage, recordings and photographs, eye-witness accounts and expert comments along with location shoots across India, bring alive the fascinating journey of George, John, Paul and Ringo from their high octane celebrity lives in the West to a remote Himalayan ashram in search of spiritual bliss that inspires an unprecedented burst of creative songwriting. 

"It is the first serious exploration of how India shaped the development of the greatest ever rock band and their own pioneering role bridging two vastly different cultures."

The film was inspired by the book Across The Universe - The Beatles In India by author Ajoy Bose, which was published in 2018. It will premiere on June 6 at the BFI in London as part of the Tongues On Fire UK Asian Film Festival, and will receive a full release in the autumn. "

1964: James Bond about the Beatles?

In a specific scene of the film Goldfinger:

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/james-bond-and-the-beatles-when-007-made-fun-of-the-fab-four/amp/

Quoting:
"It’s hard to ignore the clash of cultures here. The Beatles were the brand new dawn of a new culture and James Bond was a defender of the old. The tension between the franchise and The Beatles grew in 1964 when Goldfinger was released and a noted piece of dialogue became the talk of the music industry.

During a particularly hot and heavy scene of flirtation, 007 is with a lady in his bedroom when notices that the champagne has gone warm. It’s an unacceptable situation for the secret agent and provokes him to utter an unforgettable line: “My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done; such as drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs”."

Paul McCartney to Reissue ‘Rupert and the Frog Song’ | https://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-rupert-and-the-frog-song/?utm_source=tsmclip

Quoting:
"Paul McCartney announced plans to rerelease his 1984 animated short Rupert and the Frog Song to mark lead character Rupert Bear’s centenary.

He wrote and produced the 13-minute movie, which was directed by Geoff Dunbar, and accompanied the original release with the single “We All Stand Together,” which reached No. 3 in the U.K. chart.

“I’ve always loved animation,” McCartney said in a statement. “It started with the Disney cartoons and went on from there. As a kid I would always get the Rupert Annual at Christmas. I remember getting the idea for a film project when looking through one of them. There was a standout image in color, and when I saw it I could imagine a concert of frogs with them all doing different parts, a choir and an orchestra, and I could almost hear the music.

1970-05-13: Let it be, premieres

Let it be premieres. A film whose critics didn't like, won an Oscar and a Grammy (but not for Ringo, by mistake):
