The Beatles‘ “Let It Be” documentary, which first released in theaters in 1970, finally sees the light of day once again.
The documentary re-releases on Disney+ today.
The film was restored by Peter Jackson‘s Park Road Post Production using the same technology employed to revitalize the vintage footage in “The Beatles: Get Back.”
Jackson used hours of outtakes from Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s footage to assemble “The Beatles: Get Back”.
“I’m absolutely thrilled that Michael’s movie, ‘Let It Be,’ has been restored and is finally being re-released after being unavailable for decades,” Jackson said in a statement.
“I was so lucky to have access to Michael’s outtakes for ‘Get Back,’ and I’ve always thought that ‘Let It Be’ is needed to complete the ‘Get Back’ story.
Over three parts, we showed Michael and the Beatles filming a groundbreaking new documentary, and ‘Let It Be’ is that documentary – the movie they released in 1970. I now think of it all as 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.”
