Given access to over 60 hours of unseen film footage and more than 150 hours of unheard audio, Peter Jackson’s forthcoming BEATLES documentary, The Beatles: Get Back promises to be a genuinely revelatory look at the inner workings of the most famous musical group in history. And on the evidence of the first preview of the doc released by Jackson, it could be a real ‘must see’ film for 2021.

Featuring intimate footage of the Scouse quartet filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in January 1969, the documentary follows John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as they as they plan their first live show in over two years, and charts the writing and rehearsing of 14 new songs, originally intended for release on an accompanying live album.

The also film features – for the first time in its entirety – THE BEATLES' final live performance as a group, their rooftop concert on London’s Savile Row as well as other classic songs included on the band’s final two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be.
 
The Beatles: Get Back will open in UK cinemas on August 27, 2021.
