The film, which marks filmmaker Peter Jackson\u2019s first foray into music video production, celebrates the band\u2019s enduring love for one another as they create the last Beatles song.<\/span><\/p>\n And now Jackson has revealed that the son of late guitarist George Harrison \u2013 who was part of the legendary band alongside Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr \u2013 <\/span>was \u201cimmediately\u201d moved when he saw the music video for the track.<\/span><\/p>\n Talking about how he approached the immense task of creating the last ever video for the band, Jackson (The Beatles: Get Back) said in <\/span>an interview on the official <\/span>Beatles website:<\/span><\/a> \u201cTheir contribution to the world is too immense, and their wondrous gift of music has become part of our DNA and now defies description. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI realised we needed the imagination of every viewer to do what we couldn\u2019t, and have each viewer create their own personal moment of farewell to The Beatles \u2013 but we had to gently steer everyone to that place. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI had some vague ideas, but didn\u2019t really know how to achieve this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Talking about the late Harrison\u2019s son\u2019s reaction to the music video, he continued: \u201cFortunately, Dhani Harrison happened to be visiting NZ at this time. I discussed the ending with him, and described one vague idea I\u2019d been toying with. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHis eyes immediately filled with tears \u2013 so that is the way we went.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Reflecting further on how he was initially reluctant when Apple asked him to make the music video, Jackson added: \u201cTo be honest, just thinking about the responsibility of having to make a music video worthy of the last song The Beatles will ever release produced a collection of anxieties almost too overwhelming to deal with. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy lifelong love of The Beatles collided into a wall of sheer terror at the thought of letting everyone down. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis created intense insecurity in me because I\u2019d never made a music video before, and was not able to imagine how I could even begin to create one for a band that broke up over 50 years ago, had never actually performed the song, and had half of its members no longer with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Now and Then was originally written and recorded in the late 1970s by the late John Lennon after The Beatles broke up, but is being released with the help of artificial intelligence, which was used to separate Lennon\u2019s vocals from an old demo.<\/span><\/p>\n As well as this, Now and Then also features electric and acoustic guitar recordings from 1995 by the late Harrison, <\/span>back-up vocals from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, drums by Starr, and bass, piano and a slide guitar solo from McCartney.<\/span><\/p>\n In the UK, Now and Then will first be played on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music at 2pm on Thursday, with the music video set to premiere 24 hours later on The Beatles\u2019 YouTube channel.<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our Radio<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> and Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310 \u2013 <\/b>subscribe now<\/b><\/a> and celebrate the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who with a special issue of Radio Times.
