The Beatles<\/strong>\u2019 1970 documentary <\/span>Let It Be<\/span><\/em>\u00a0premieres May 8 on Disney+ and the studio is giving fans another preview of what to expect from the newly restored film.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>new clip<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0has just been released\u00a0centered around the George Harrison<\/strong> track \u201cFor You Blue,\u201d featuring\u00a0footage\u00a0from the studio and on the rooftop of the Apple Records building in London.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film, which hasn\u2019t been available to enjoy in more than 50 years, has been restored by Peter Jackson<\/strong>\u2019s Park Road Post Production. In a just-released <\/span>featurette<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, original director Michael Lindsay-Hogg<\/strong>\u00a0chats with Jackson\u00a0about the film, sharing that\u00a0Beatles fans may be surprised by what they learn about the band during that time period.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Let It Be\u00a0<\/span><\/em>is an entirely different part of the Beatles\u2019 story,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Beatles that we\u2019d grown up with were not the Beatles in\u00a0<\/span>Let It Be<\/span><\/em>. They were changing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u00a0says that when\u00a0he started the project it was originally supposed to be a concert movie, but quickly turned into a documentary. It took\u00a0Beatles fans inside the studio as they recorded their album\u00a0<\/span>Let It Be\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and includes footage from their January 1969 Apple Corps rooftop concert.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI loved the four of them,\u201d he says about his relationship with the Fab Four. \u201cI really felt love for them, like a director often feels love for an actor. I really cared for them.” He adds, “Also, I knew what a difference they\u2019d made to the world. They did bring joy to the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the newly restored film, Lindsay-Hogg shares, \u201cIt really looks beautiful and I think it\u2019s wonderful <\/span>Let it Be<\/span><\/em> may have a new life in the sunshine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
