The Beatles: Get Back: Cast, Plot, Trailer, Release Date and Everything You Need to Know

The Beatles: Get Back is an upcoming documentary, musical film directed by Peter Jackson. It covers the making of the Beatles’ 1970 album Let It Be, which had the working title of Get Back.

The film draws from material originally captured for director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 documentary of the album.

The Beatles: Get Back endeavours to recut Lindsay-Hogg’s film to show the friendly camaraderie that still existed between the Beatles, as well as to challenge longtime assertions that the project was entirely marked by ill-feeling.

On 11 March 2020, The Walt Disney Studios announced they had acquired the worldwide distribution rights to Jackson’s documentary.

But what can we expect from ‘The Beatles Get Back (2021)’? Here’s everything you need to know so far about ‘The Beatles: Get Back’.
