Month: November 2021

Following the first trailer last month, Disney has released a new clip from Peter Jackson’s three-part documentary film The Beatles: Get Back. The footage shows the band in the studio doing an early run-through of the track ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’.

The Beatles: Get Back will focus on the making of the band’s penultimate studio album ‘Let It Be’, and will showcase their final concert as a band, on London’s Savile Row rooftop, in its entirety. The film was cut from 55 hours of unseen footage, filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, and 140 hours of mostly unheard audio from the recording sessions.

Disney is releasing the documentary in three episodes on its streaming service Disney+, with each part landing on November 25, 26 and 27 respectively. Each episode is approximately two hours in length.

The Beatles: Get Back will be released November 25th on Disney+.

Korn have released an animated/live action music video for their brand new single “Start The Healing” to celebrate the announcement that they will be dropping their latest album, “Requiem”, on February 4, 2022.

The video’s director Saccenti had this to say of the visual: “Our idea for this video was to mutate that aspect of the DNA of Korn, of what makes them so inspiring, their mix of raw power and transportive aesthetics and human emotion. I wanted to take the viewer on an emotional journey, as the song does, a visceral, cathartic death and rebirth that will hopefully help transport the listener through whatever their personal struggles are. Collaborating with 3-D artist Anthony Ciannamea we tapped into Korn’s mythology and explored their vast well of light and darkness to create a surreal, liminal-pace body-horror nightmare.”
