Peter Jackson Directed the Music Video For Last Beatles Song

They are calling it “The Last Beatles Song.” It began as a John Lennon demo known as “Now and Then” that Yoko Ono had given to Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr throughout the work on The Beatles Anthology in the Nineteen Nineties. While Paul, George, and Ringo did work on the track at the moment, it was finally decided the demo was in too unhealthy a form to show right into a accomplished track.

But now, nearly 30 years later, the track has been completed, utilizing new applied sciences that weren’t obtainable at the moment. In reality, they had been solely developed in the previous few years by none apart from director Peter Jackson whereas he was engaged on the latest Beatles documentary collection The Beatles: Get Back. This new know-how was capable of separate John Lennon’s vocals from the piano on that demo, which enabled the surviving Beatles to show the “Now and Then” demo right into a full-fledged Beatles observe, which debuted as we speak.

It’s solely becoming then that Peter Jackson directed the accompanying music video for “Now and Then,” which is comprised of archival footage of the band from their ’60s glory days.
