The Beatles: Get Back director Peter Jackson says he is trying to convince the film's distribution partners, Disney and Apple, to release an extended cut of his revelatory 2021 documentary series.
As the original three-episode series spans over seven hours in run time, Jackson explained on a recent podcast appearance that both partner companies are understandably wary about releasing an even longer version.
"They say — and they might be quite right — that there's no market anymore for extended cuts. But I know that there's five or six hours of fantastic material that we didn't include, and I don't want it to go back into the vaults for 50 years," Jackson told Kim Masters. "So, let's just that it's a conversation that's happening, but it's not necessarily a definitive one at this point."
