'The Beatles: Get Back': An Extended Cut of the Documentary Could Happen
The Beatles: Get Back was a lengthy three-part, six-hour documentary of the making of the Let It Be album. Now, director Peter Jackson wants to release a longer version.
The Academy Award-winning director said on The Business with Kim Masters (as transcribed by Ultimate Classic Rock), “[Disney and Apple] say — and they might be quite right — that there’s no market anymore for extended cuts. But I know that there’s five or six hours of fantastic material that we didn’t include, and I don’t want it to go back into the vaults for 50 years. So, let’s just say that it’s a conversation that’s happening, but it’s not necessarily a definitive one at this point.”
The Beatles: Get Back was met with critical and commercial acclaim. The doc is nominated for five Emmy Awards including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. Additionally, Julian Lennon said the documentary reminded him “of the way Dad used to be.”
