"We wanted to give Beatles fans around the world a little end-of-year gift. So we decided to offer them 5 minutes of our next movie that will be released next year in theaters: The Beatles: Get Back. We hope they will bring smiles and joy in this particularly trying time. " - Peter Jackson

Director Peter Jackson is now offering the many fans of the legendary band around the world the first images of his upcoming film The Beatles: Get Back, a musical documentary that will be released in theaters in 2021. 5 exceptional minutes that can now be seen on www.TheBeatles.com or in streaming on Disney+.

Conceived by acclaimed director Peter Jackson, The Beatles: Get Back is a unique cinematic experience that takes audiences back to the time of the Beatles' intimate recording sessions at a pivotal moment in music history. The film highlights the warmth, complicity and creative genius that have since defined the legacy of the iconic quartet. Shot in January 1969, compiled and brilliantly restored from more than 60 hours of previously unreleased footage (filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg) and more than 150 hours of never-before-listened audio, The Beatles: Get Back is the story of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as they plan their first live concert in more than two years. These are remarkable and memorable moments that trace the writing and rehearsal of 14 new songs originally intended for release on a live album. The film presents - for the first time in its entirety - The Beatles' latest live performance as a band - the unforgettable concert in London on the roof of a building on Savile Row - as well as other songs and compositions from their last two albums, "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be".
