Peter Jackson reveals release details of The Beatles: Get Back series

Peter Jackson first announced his restoration project with The Beatles back in 2019.

The details of Peter Jackson’s documentary The Beatles: Get Back have been revealed.

Using the same techniques which vividly brought to life the horrors of the Western Front on his They Shall Not Grow Old film, Jackson has also been using the hours of unseen footage from The Beatles’ original Get Back production to put a whole new spin on the underwhelming, gloomy finished product which arrived in 1970 and was quickly labelled as the visual evidence of a band falling apart.

Originally conceived as a feature length, it will instead be split into three episodes exclusively for the Disney+ subscription service on November 25th, 26th and 27th this year.

“In many respects, Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s remarkable footage captured multiple storylines,” Jackson says. “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.”
