Macca, Ringo scrap the plans of Beatles film release

By Staff
Melbourne
(ANI):
Sir
Paul
McCartney
and
Ringo
Starr
have
reportedly
scrapped
their
plans
of
releasing
the
Beatles
film,
'Let
It
Be'.
If
sources
are
to
be
believed,
the
two
have
stopped
the
release
of
their
film,
which
highlights
the
band's
internal
rift,
because
it
shows
relations
between
the
Fab
Four
in
a
less
than
positive
light.
"There
has
been
talk
of
Let
It
Be
finally
being
released
but
now
there
has
been
a
change
of
heart," Daily
Express
quoted
an
industry
source
as
saying.
"The
Beatles
are
still
a
massive
global
brand
and
it's
felt
it
won"t
be
helped
if
the
public
sees
the
darker
side
of
the
story.
"Neither
Paul
nor
Ringo
would
be
comfortable
publicising
a
film
showing
The
Beatles
getting
on
each
other's
nerves.
"People
like
to
imagine
The
Beatles
were
a
happy
ship
but
the
reality
towards
the
end
was
very
different
as
this
film
shows,"
source
added.
Relations
between
McCartney
and
George
Harrison
turned
sour
when
the
latter
criticised
Macca's
guitar
playing.
An
album
of
the
same
name
accompanied
the
movie,
although
this
is
often
regarded
as
one
of
the
band's
weaker
offerings
despite
the
fact
it
includes
songs
like
Get
Back
and
The
Long
And
Winding
Road,
as
well
as
the
famous
signature
track
sung
by
Sir
Paul.
