Oscar winner Howard to make new Beatles film
Oscar-winning director Ron Howard will make a new authorised documentary about the Beatles' touring years, with the backing of the Fab Four's music label Apple Corps.
The filmmakers said the two surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are giving their "full cooperation" to the movie, as are John Lennon and George Harrison's widows, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.
Apple Corps has hired producers from Imagine Entertainment and White Horse Pictures to make the film, which will tell the story from the Cavern Club through the Ed Sullivan show to full-blown Beatlemania.
