The Beatles announce new film about their final days
The Beatles have announced a new film documenting their final days.
The project is a collaboration with acclaimed Academy Award winning director Sir Peter Jackson and is based around 55 hours of never-released footage of The Beatles in the recording studio during January 1969.
These studio sessions resulted in The Beatles' Grammy Award winning album Let It Be.
The filming was originally intended for a television special that became the documentary Let It Be and ended with The Beatles' legendary performance on the roof of the Apple Records London office, which took place exactly 50 years ago today.
In a statement on The Beatles website , Peter Jackson said, "The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about."
