Beatles ’64 – New documentary coming to Disney+

Having secured a deal with Apple Corps for Peter Jackson’s The Beatles Get Back and then the restored version of Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 Let It Be, Disney+ continue their association with the Fab Four by announcing Beatles ’64, an “all-new” documentary that captures The Beatles first visit to America.

The film is directed by David Tedeschi and produced by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. That pair have collaborated previously, with Tedeschi editing 2011 George Harrison biopic Living in the Material World and editing and executive producing the more recent Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story, both of which were directed by Scorsese. They were also both involved in the 2016 HBO mini-series Vinyl.

On 7 February 1964, The Beatles arrived in New York City and were famously mobbed by fans at Kennedy Airport. Beatlemania swept NYC and the entire country as the band performed on ‘The Ed Sulilvan Show’ and travelled to Washington for their first American concert. All of this has been documented before, of course, via Albert and David Maysles’ superb What’s Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A. which later became The Beatles: The First US Visit when re-edited in the early 1990s.

Unsurprisingly, Beatles ’64 will include footage shot by Albert and David Maysles, restored in 4K by Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post, in New Zealand. Also, the live performances from The Beatles first American concert at the Washington, DC Coliseum and their Ed Sullivan appearances, have been ‘demixed’ by WingNut Films and remixed by Giles Martin, which will undoubtedly generate speculation about a future vinyl and CD release. The music and footage in Beatles ’64 are augmented by newly filmed interviews with Paul and Ringo, and Beatles fans.

Beatles ’64 starts on Disney+ on 29 November 2024. A week earlier, Capitol/UMe will release a vinyl box set called 1964 US Albums in Mono. You can read more about that on this post.
