This sounds almost absurdly awful though, like a quickly knocked out comic relief spoof.
They'll have to address the Paul and Ringo issue. Are they alive within the world of this film? Will they turn up at the end, regaining their own memories of The Beatles?
McCARTNEY: 'Oh, alright there, Ed. You're that singer, aren't you. I forgot we existed for about 90 minutes, there. Who's this chap been making money off our tunes? What do you think to all this, Ringo? And we all thought you were only famous for
Thomas the Tank Engine.'
STARR: 'What's
Thomas the Tank Engine, Paul? You don't half talk some shite, y'know.'
SHEERAN: 'Yeah, Paul, what's
Thomas the Tank Engine? And yes I am that singer.'
Thus paving the way for a sequel in which Paul McCartney, played by himself, is the only man on Earth who can remember
Thomas the Tank Engine. I've spoken to Brosnan's people, he'll do a cameo (voice only).
