Peter Jackson to make a movie from "Let It Be" footage? PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Seriously, his recent "They Shall Not Grow Old" about WW1 was nearly perfect. Hope he does as well with this....

This could be one of my Beatle highlights of this century. It's a Beatle wish come true,

Good news. I'm glad they are doing something with the Let it Be footage. Nice to have something else Beatles related to look forward to.

[Greg]

The only issue I see is that it probably has to be sanctioned by Apple.  I, personally, wish that weren't so.  I'd like to see a film from someone without any constraints upon their work.  I cant blame them though.  If someone was using footage of me Id want to see it...and if I owned it Id make sure I agreed with everything in it. 


But Im still super happy that something is being done with this.

I'm impressed with the new trailer:

It's starting to feel very close, next month.

And now just days.
Going to be magic.
The restoration is one of the best parts of it.  Incredible.

Getting SOOO excited!

Just wow! As a Beatles fan this was an absolute feast, I am going to watch this a lot of times over the years, nowhere else do you get so close to the Beatles, their creative process, their humour, their shared experience so much of their history lives in this Month in 1969.

Peter Jackson has beautifully curated the material, both visually and what he has done with the audio is just magic, with the use of AI to seperate all the instruments and voices from the original mono recording and allow for proper mixing and the removal of noise. Just using the original footage, no contemporary interviews and moving through it chronologically so that the events themselves tell the story. For me it's really moving, in that first part when George leaves and they focus on Ringo and Paul looking sad and the demo of isn't a pity is playing I swear my eyes started to leak. But all through you can tell how much they care about one another.

I'm just so thankful for this movie, it has transformed Let it Be for me, along with the Let it Be Box set. again just wow!

[Greg]

Yep. Glorious.
All of it.
The Ups and Downs of working together was reality.
I can see how each viewed the situation at times.
Paul was very much taking over much of the time and didn't give enough thought to input.
Yet again they were not giving much input, and it seemed good that Paul was doing a great job of keeping this group together.
I could watch all 55+ hours.
The clothes were awesome. George won best dressed award for that movie.
Lethargic John was hard to watch in episode 1, but he came alive in 2 and 3.
Amazing.  Paul was 26 at the time. George 25, Ringo and John 28.  Did I get those right?
Incredible.

I started watching this last night.......and WOW! The very beginning was pretty regular, until all the footage from the actual Get Back sessions began
.......it was like that moment in Wizard of Oz when Dorothy steps out into Munchkinland and her world turns into Technicolor.....

The whole movie looks brighter than the original...and very fresh......the Lads are so real and human.......and I am less then an hour in!.....
