What if The Beatles Did “Get Back” Instead of “Let It Be”?

In 1969, The Beatles tried to make an album in front of cameras with mixed results. You’re finally going to see it.

Director Peter Jackson has shared a sneak peek at his highly anticipated documentary project, “Get Back.” The 56 hours of footage it draws on is beautiful, vibrant and crisp. The new film promises to be everything that the original film made from the same material, “Let It Be,” was not.

Where Jackson’s film will end, “Once There Was a Way: What if The Beatles Stayed Together?” begins. The novel just won the coveted Sidewise Award for Alternate History, and lets John, Paul, George and Ringo find an authentic way to work it out.

Meantime, here’s the “not-a-trailer” trailer for “Get Back.”
