One of the most anticipated movies of the year will be a Disney+ exclusive

Later this year, director Peter Jackson is going to re-write the ending to one of the greatest breakup stories in music history, charting the end of one of (if not the) biggest rock band of all time.

Fans of The Beatles have been waiting for years, wondering whether the long-gestating effort to finally give a commercial release to the band's Let It Be documentary would ever come to fruition. Filmed as the band was disintegrating in real time, the version that was produced and given a brief theatrical release in 1970 seemed to be a product of four stars chomping at the bit to finally break up and go their own way. And certain moments in the film, like bassist Paul McCartney nitpicking at guitarist George Harrison and bossily tell him how to play something, ended up casting a pall over the whole thing -- so much so, that the band was never able to stomach rewatching that version, let alone packaging it into something suitable for a home video release.

Until Jackson came along, that is, who plowed through 56 hours of unreleased, never-before-seen Beatles footage that stemmed from the band filming rehearsals for its final album. The result -- Get Back, the Jackson-led retooling of the Beatles documentary that was going to be released in theaters later this year but which is now headed to Disney+ as an exclusive streaming release.
