The Beatles will be under the spotlight again as "The Beatles: Get Back" director Peter Jackson served his plans on the table.
Following the success of "The Beatles: Get Back," fans of the Fab Four would be able to learn more about the band again through a new film.
Director Jackson recently confirmed to Deadline that he started working on another The Beatles project that would be "very, very different" from "The Beatles: Get Back."
"We're seeing what the possibilities are, but it's another project with them. It's not really a documentary ... and that's all I can really say," he said.
The acclaimed "Get Back" was released on Disney+ in November and showed eight hours of footage which were initially intended for the band's film, "Let It Be." It scored five Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Series - 2022, Outstanding Sound Editing For A Nonfiction Or Reality Program (Single Or Multi-Camera) - 2022, Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Nonfiction Or Reality Program (Single or Multi-Camera) - 2022, Outstanding Directing For A Documentary/Nonfiction Program - 2022, and Outstanding Picture Editing For A Nonfiction Program - 2022.
Instead of a documentary, Jackson reportedly eyes to work closely with The Beatles' surviving members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, to create the film.
Early Incentive Behind The Beatles Revealed
Amid the talks about The Beatles film, McCartney's past interview about the incentive behind The Beatles emerged.
In 1982, he sat down for a discussion with BBC "Nationwide" Sue Lawley after John Lennon's death, he opened up about the band's songwriting style, saying it was not focused on artistic enlightenment.
"For most people, it is just to be successful, to earn money. I mean, we used to talk about writing a swimming pool, it was one of those between John and I, just like: 'You need a pool here, we better go and write it', you know? 'Ching ching ching'. We'd try and write hits for things he needed or whatever," he said, as quoted by Far Out Magazine.
However, McCartney clarified that he would still do it even if he did not get paid for it.
The Beatles broke up in 1970, but it still successfully recorded their final album, "Let It Be" in 1969. The album became a hit and topped several charts in the US and UK upon its release. Among the highest ratings they received were from AllMusic, Billboard, and Sputnikmusic.
