'Let It Be' Beatles Documentary Heads to Disney+. On April 16, Disney+ announced that a remastered version of Michael Lindsay-Hogg's 1970 documentary will stream on its platform beginning May 8, The Verge reports. The film chronicles the Fab Four recording their album, 'Let It Be,' before breaking up soon after. Lindsay-Hogg said that when the band split, it "very much darkened the perception of the film" when it was originally released. But when he saw Peter Jackson's work on 'The Beatles: Get Back,' he was motivated to allow the re-release of his own film. Jackson's Park Road Post Production will remaster original footage for 'Let It Be' as well. AI tools will be used to remaster audio. Jackson said that he is "absolutely thrilled" about the new project and considers 'Let It Be' and 'Get Back' to be "one epic story, finally completed after five decades”. "The two projects support and enhance each other.” "'Let It Be' is the climax of 'Get Back,' while 'Get Back' provides a vital missing context for 'Let It Be.'" "Michael Lindsay-Hogg was unfailingly helpful and gracious while I made 'Get Back' and it's only right that his original movie has the last word...looking and sounding far better than it did in 1970.", Peter Jackson, via statement.
