Ron Howard has created an authorized and, most definitely, highly anticipated documentary feature film about The Beatles called The Beatles: Eight Days A Week – The Touring Years. It features rare and exclusive footage with the full cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison.

Check out the first trailer above for your first sneak peek. Hulu will also exclusively stream the film to Hulu subscribers on September 17th and the US theatrical release is set for September 16th, 2016.

“We are going to be able to take the Super 8 footage that we found, that was all shot silent. We’ll not only be able to digitally repair a lot of that, but we’ve also been finding the original recordings. We can now sync it up and create a concert experience so immersive and so engaging, I believe you’re going to actually feel like you’re somewhere in the Sixties, seeing what it was like to be there, feeling it and hearing it. And as a film director, that’s a fantastic challenge.” -Ron Howard

On February 26, 2016, Hot Records Ltd. and Vagrant Records will be releasing George Fest: A Night To Celebrate The Music Of George Harrison. Recorded and filmed on September 28th, 2014 at The Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. You can view the trailer of the film, which was produced by Dhani Harrison and David Zonshine, here.
