Encyclopedic overview
Yesterday is a 2019 romantic comedy film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Richard Curtis based on a story by Jack Barth and Curtis. It stars Himesh Patel as a struggling musician who enters an alternative present in which he is the only person who remembers the Beatles, and becomes famous performing their songs. The film also stars Lily James, Joel Fry, Ed Sheeran, and Kate McKinnon.
Yesterday was announced in March 2018. Filming began in April around England, particularly Norfolk and Halesworth in Suffolk. Photography also took place at Wembley Stadium, the Principality Stadium, and in Los Angeles. The filmmakers paid $10 million for the rights to use the Beatles' music. Although none of the Beatles were involved, Boyle received approval for the project from them or their families.
