Ron Howard is making another run into the documentary genre with one of the most recognizable bands of all-time.

Batch Of 59 Rare Beatles Songs To Be Released For Sale

The Rush and Beautiful Mind director is in talks to direct a documentary on The Beatles and their touring years. The film will pick up at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in the early 60s and run straight through to Candlestick Park, San Francisco where the Beatles held their very last public concert in 1966, all while Beatlemania raged on.

Apple Corps Ltd., White Horse Pictures and Imagine Entertainment are producing the project and have full support from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison.

According to the press release, the film will seek to explain what it was about that particular moment in time that allowed this cultural pivot point to occur. It will examine the social and political context of the time, and reveal the unique conditions that caused technology and mass communication to collide.

Howard added that he was excited and honored to be working with Apple and the White Horse team on this astounding story of these four young men who stormed the world in 1964. Their impact on popular culture and the human experience cannot be exaggerated.

Howard previously made the documentary Made in America in 2013 about hip-hop artist Jay-Z and organizing the "Budweiser Made in America" music festival. He is currently working on Heart of the Sea with Chris Hemsworth and Brendan Gleeson and is in talks to make The Graveyard Book.
