From The Second Disc -- Update on The Beatles' 'Get Back' Documentary" Director Peter Jackson’s long-awaited documentary The Beatles: Get Back finally has a confirmed home and release date. Today, Walt Disney Studios, Apple Corps, and WingNut Films Productions revealed that Get Back will take the form of a three-part series, with each part clocking in at roughly two hours. Part One of the Academy Award-winning filmmaker’s in-depth examination of the Let It Be period will debut on November 25 on Disney+, with Part Two premiering on the 26th and Part Three on the 27th. Jackson crafted the film from over 60 hours of unseen footage shot by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg for the original Let It Be film (as well as more than 150 hours of unheard audio) but promises that there’s much more to the story. “In many respects, Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s remarkable footage captured multiple storylines,” Jackson observed in the press release. “The story of friends and of individuals. It is the story of human frailties and of a divine partnership. It is a detailed account of the creative process, with the crafting of iconic songs under pressure, set amid the social climate of early 1969. But it’s not nostalgia – it’s raw, honest, and human. Over six hours, you’ll get to know The Beatles with an intimacy that you never thought possible. I’m very grateful to The Beatles, Apple Corps and Disney for allowing me to present this story in exactly the way it should be told. I’ve been immersed in this project for nearly three years, and I’m very excited that audiences around the world will finally be able to see it.” Bob Iger, Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Disney, adds, “As a huge Beatles fan myself, I am absolutely thrilled that Disney+ will be the home for this extraordinary documentary series by the legendary filmmaker Peter Jackson. This phenomenal collection of never-before-seen footage offers an unprecedented look at the close camaraderie, genius songwriting, and indelible impact of one of the most iconic and culturally influential bands of all time, and we can’t wait to share The Beatles: Get Back with fans around the world.” Fans can expect to see the Rooftop Concert of January 30, 1969 in its entirety as well as an in-depth look at the creation of the music featured on the band’s final two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be. While we wait for the inevitable announcement of a definitive Let it Be box set, Apple Corps and Callaway Arts and Entertainment will preview the documentary with the October 12 release of the 240-page hardcover companion book also titled The Beatles: Get Back. It will be published in nine international language editions around the world. " |

I saw that segment of the Beatles on 60 Minutes last night, and it was quite a revelation to think that what we thought we knew about why the group disintegrated via Let It Be wasn't the whole story.
Of course, my thinking about the Beatles is that it'd be very difficult, almost impossible, to explain to a generation that has only known K-pop, boy bands, and the like why these four mop-tops from Liverpool were such a big freaking deal back in the day.
