Martin Scorsese’s latest production, Beatles ’64, a documentary chronicling the Beatles’ historic first visit to America, will debut on Disney+ on November 29, 2024, reports the Independent.

Directed by David Tedeschi, the film captures the Fab Four’s arrival at Kennedy Airport on February 7, 1964 and the ensuing Beatlemania that swept the US.

The documentary features their iconic debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, which was watched by 73 million viewers, along with never-before-seen footage of the band.

The Beatles’ first US show at the Washington, DC Coliseum and their Sullivan performances were “demixed” using AI technology and remixed by Giles Martin.

Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr appear in new interviews, while Sean Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison are among the co-producers.

The film’s release will coincide with a remastered edition of seven Beatles albums in the United States, which have been out of print on vinyl for three decades.
