The Beatles themselves were never happy with the original film so I guess with all the massive reissues they’ve been doing for 50th anniversaries it made sense. The remaining Beatles aren’t getting younger so I suppose they probably wanted a say in it. Jackson proved himself as a great doc maker with They Shall Not Grow Old and he’s a huge Beatles fan. all makes sense to me!

Sounds like Jackson's content to be a documentary filmmaker now, he's probably burned out from big budget epics. Which is fine by me, They Shall Not Grow Old was outstanding.

HunterTech 1,172 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I'm more disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a new remix of the album in the works, since honestly the original Let It Be album sounds rougher than its two predecessors. Sure, I suppose Naked leaves making another moot, but I can imagine it'd be nice to hear the Spector edits and additions in much cleaner quality. Still, the prospect of this particular project is intriguing, so I'd be interested in what comes of it. Wonder if they're still gonna remaster the original film.

Chen G. 4,476 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Jackson only knows about the Beatles film project from some reading material and from meeting Paul McCartney, and I'm not sure he has quite the right order of events from those sources. Its a very complex part of the history of the Lord of the Rings finding its way to the screen, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the John Boorman script (which is very much mushroom induced) was also intended to be helmed by the Beatles: you can really tell by the amount of singing in it. I'm told Jackson got hold of a copy of it at one point. I bet the band breaking up (the script was written in 1969-1970) had a lot to do with the script never getting off of the ground.

He introduced me to The Beatles; I’ve been a fan ever since. He was a huge Beatles fan; he owned all of their albums on CD. He knew how to play the drums and would often rock to some of their greatest songs. He also owned the DVD collection of The Beatles documentaries, as well as Yellow Submarine, A Hard Day’s Night, and Help (which I still own, though I intend to upgrade the three films to getting the 4K/Blu-Ray releases). In 2016, at age 56, he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He fought for two years. In January 2018, he was put in hospice care; I put Pandora on and had his Beatles station playing by his bedside. He was at peace. He passed away February 2018. I have been looking forward to this documentary series since it was first announced. I will watch this in memory of and in dedication to my dad.

Tallguy 4,212 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Disney. That just blows my mind. Kind of like after the whole "wardrobe malfunction" Super Bowl thing they went with the safest, cleanest, least offensive act they could think of. A Beatle.
