Starr said he gave "extensive notes" to director Mendes while fact-checking the scripts. The scenes in particular that depicted Starr's family and his first wife, Maureen Starkey Tigrett (whose casting has not yet been announced), were among the sequences that Starr urged to have reworked.

Ringo Starr had some notes for Beatles biopic director Sam Mendes after reading his film's script: 'That’s not how we were. I’d say, 'We would never do that.''

The former Beatles drummer said that scenes depicting his first wife needed to be tweaked to make them more accurate.
