The Beatles: Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr tease Peter Jackson’s UNSEEN footage doc

Iger continued: “I’m a huge fan myself, so I could not be happier that Disney is able to share Peter Jackson’s stunning documentary with global audiences in September.”

Jackson previously directed They Shall Not Grow Old, in which he and his team restored, colourised and added sound to original First World War footage.

On working on The Beatles: Get Back, the director said: “Working on this project has been a joyous discovery. I’ve been privileged to be a fly on the wall while the greatest band of all time works, plays and creates masterpieces. 

“I’m thrilled that Disney have stepped up as our distributor. There’s no one better to have our movie seen by the greatest number of people.”
