The Beatles 'Let It Be' re-release, begins streaming on Disney+, May 8, 2024*

The official Beatles FB page has teasered something very much like it two hours ago.

The Beatles

 

As a reference: the original movie poster.

 

Well the filename of the jpg on thebeatles.com is... LetItBe_Teaser_KA_4x5_032624.jpg

 

The FB filename is gibberish, but thanks!

We just rewatched Get Back last week, so the restored LIB would be most welcome.

 

Interesting. I assume that, as with Get Back, there will be a sell-through at some stage.

 

can't wait!!!!!

 

As much as I think Let It Be deserves and needs to be seen and known -- it's bound to be pretty underwhelming after we got 8 hours of killer footage in Get Back. The original film is pretty dismal, with incomplete takes of songs and long periods of Beatles looking bored and tired.

 

I wonder what Disney has to do with this one.

 

True, but PJ's Get Back is also pretty full of incomplete takes of songs.

 

True - not sure who would want to watch them in this order. It's a curiosity, at best. But if there's additional 'new' footage released, count me in!

 

Hey, it's still the Beatles, regardless.

 

There's the Disney+ logo, so I guess they'll stream it

 

It's the Disney+ logo -- I assume it means the film will be streaming there?

 

Streaming it I guess.

 

It's a "Let It Be... Naked" movie, which will just be the original movie but with all clothes removed via AI. Frankly, I think I'll wait to read the reviews.

 

Finally. I really want Lindsay-Hogg’s film in HD

 

Yeah, those archive.org downloads just don't cut it no more.
Although I fear PJ's ruthless scrubbing of the picture.

 

If nothing else, the completely performed three songs that were filmed the day after the rooftop will make it worthwhile.

 

To be honest, it's totally underwhelming. I've already seen it years ago and have no interest in watching it again, especially after Get Back which is SO much better.
For fans who never saw it, it might be interesting as an historical artifact though!

 

A DVD/Blu-ray release of this would be a nice spot for the complete rooftop performance as a bonus...

 

Yep. Still peeved that they are just abridged credits outtakes in PJ's. On the other hand, I think he didn't want to poach MLH's film too much.

 

What Pearl Jam has to do with it?
Seriously, what makes you think Peter Jackson's involved?

 

They're on One+ if you want them so bad!

 

It’s their ommision that had me believing above and beyond anything else that the original film was at some point on the way. That said, a bonus disc with additional outtakes would be beautiful.

 

Not Two of Us.
