With Peter Jackson's epic three-part documentary miniseries The Beatles: Get Back currently celebrating its one-year anniversary, many fans have been wondering if more material from the famous sessions will be unleashed on the public. When it was put out on DVD and Blu-ray earlier this year, it only contained the same 468 minutes that’s available streaming on Disney+, with no extra footage or bonus material of any kind, so there’s been a lot of speculation about a possible extended future edition.
Jackson assembled Get Back from 60 hours of footage and over 150 hours of audio of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr working in January 1969. This would become Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 documentary and the same-titled Phil Spector-produced LP, Let it Be. Jackson told The Hollywood Reporter journalist Kim Masters on The Business podcast 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 faults for fifty years. So, let’s just say that it’s a conversation that’s happening, but it’s not necessarily a definitive one at this point."
