New Beatles documentary set to 'bust myths' about fractious 'Let It Be' recording sessions

The first footage from Peter Jackson’s forthcoming The Beatles documentary has been shown to journalists at a Universal Music showcase in America, and it could change the way we view the Fab Four forever.

The Lord of the Rings director has been working on the film for a year now, remastering hours of unused footage from Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 documentary film Let It Be, with a process similar to his work on 2018’s WWI doc They Shall Not Grow Old.

Jackson has editing the previously unreleased footage into a new film that promises to bust the myth that the sessions were fraught with tension between band members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

Variety reports that the first clip showed the band in recording sessions for their penultimate album: “joking around, making fun of each other, singing in silly accents and generally indulging in vintage Moptop hijinks.”
