The Beatles are getting a new documentary. Beatles ’64, produced by Martin Scorsese and directed by David Tedeschi, premieres November 29 on Disney+. The film features never-before-seen footage by documentarians Albert and David Maysles and will focus on the band’s first trip to the United States in February 1964, when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and performed at the Washington Coliseum.
Beatles ’64, which is co-produced by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, is also being released alongside The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums in Mono, a box set of seven Beatles album reissues analog cut from their original mono master tapes, including Meet the Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2xLP); Beatles ’65; and The Early Beatles.
The new film follows The Beatles: Get Back, Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary series on the making of Let It Be. Earlier this year, it was announced that each member of the Beatles will be the subject of his own biopic in a new tetralogy directed by Sam Mendes and set for release in 2027.
