Great Trailer for New Documentary BEATLES '64 Which Will Hit Disney+ the Day After Thanksgiving

Disney+ has released a great trailer for their upcoming documentary Beatles ‘64, which is set to be released on Black Friday. The film comes from producer Martin Scorsese and director David Tedeschi, and it “captures the electrifying moment of The Beatles’ first visit to America.

Featuring never-before-seen footage, the film gives a rare glimpse into when The Beatles became the most influential and beloved band of all time.”  

“On February 7, 1964, The Beatles arrived in New York City to unprecedented excitement and hysteria. From the instant they landed at Kennedy Airport, met by thousands of fans, Beatlemania swept New York and the entire country.

“Their thrilling debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Show captivated more than 73 million viewers, the most watched television event of its time. Beatles ’64 presents the spectacle, but also tells a more intimate behind the scenes story, capturing the camaraderie of John, Paul, George, and Ringo as they experienced unimaginable fame.”

“The film includes rare footage filmed by pioneering documentarians Albert and David Maysles, beautifully restored in 4K by Park Road Post in New Zealand. The live performances from The Beatles’ first American concert at the Washington, DC Coliseum and their Ed Sullivan appearances were demixed by WingNut Films and remixed by Giles Martin.

“Spotlighting this singular cultural moment and its continued resonance today, the music and footage are augmented by newly filmed interviews with Paul and Ringo, as well as fans whose lives were transformed by The Beatles.”

This looks like such a fun watch. It’s so cool that there’s still unseen footage out there of The Beatles for us to enjoy. I love it in the trailer when Paul points out that they arrived in the US just after JFK was assassinated, and he feels that the country needed some joy at that time. I agree, and I look forward to watching with the family this holiday season.

Beatles ’64 will stream exclusively on Disney+ beginning November 29, 2024. Check out the trailer and poster for the doc below:
