Peter Jackson's The Beatles Documentary Gets New Australian Release Date

Get back.

More The Beatles The Beatles

Peter Jackson's The Beatles documentary has been given a new release date for Australian cinemas. 

Originally scheduled to hit US cinemas on 4 September, The Beatles: Get Back's Australian release will now move forward a week to 26 August, 2021.

The Beatles: Get Back, to be released by Walt Disney Studios, looks at the making of the iconic band's final album Let It Be and features their last ever concert on London's Savile Row rooftop.

Working on this project has been a joyous discovery. Ive been privileged to be a fly on the wall while the greatest band of all time works, plays and creates masterpieces," Jackson said.


"Im thrilled that Disney have stepped up as our distributor. Theres no one better to have our movie seen by the greatest number of people.

The project has also been approved by The Beatles legends, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.

I am really happy that Peter has delved into our archives to make a film that shows the truth about The Beatles recording together," McCartney said.

"The friendship and love between us comes over and reminds me of what a crazily beautiful time we had.
