'Beatles' bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunite onstage in Los Angeles

<p>Imagine a world where The Beatles never existed? That is what British director Danny Boyle asks audiences to believe in his new movie 'Yesterday'.<br />
<br />
The comedy, arriving in movie theatres next week, tells of struggling British musician Jack who wakes up after a traffic accident and finds himself in an alternate timeline where only he can remember the music of the 1960s band.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NiYUAV7r9bE" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Boyle, who won an Oscar for the 2008 movie 'Slumdog Millionaire', said the band gave permission for their music to be used in the film despite it being a story where "they are literally erased from the consciousness of the world."<br />
<br />
"I think they (The Beatles) must have loved the idea - how quirky the idea was. It appeals to their sense of humour I think," Boyle said on the red carpet in London on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
"That is so typical of their sense of humour - and their bravery as well - because they are experimenters. So I think they like the fact that it`s a bit left field," he added. Boyle said Ringo Starr and the widow of George Harrison had seen the film and sent notes of support.<br />
<br />
As for Paul McCartney, Boyle said: "I don`t think Paul has seen the movie, but he`s seen the trailer and he said `Oh that seems to work!`"<br />
<br />
Boyle said he had also written to Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon.<br />
<br />
The movie also features Grammy Award-winning British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, playing himself, as the person who helps Jack, played by British actor Himesh Patel, recreate some of the band`s most famous hits, sending his career soaring.<br />
<br />
The movie, with a screenplay by 'Love Actually' writer Richard Curtis, also features Lily James, Kate McKinnon and James Corden.<br />
<br />
'Yesterday' starts its global rollout on June 26.</p>

'Yesterday' comedy movie gets Beatles' seal of approval

<p>This might not be the first time we will get to see a film on legendary band Beatles that belted out some great music for generations to sing but there are claims that we will get to see them in a very different light after this releases.</p>

<p>Announced on Wednesday, ‘Lord of the Rings’ director Peter Jackson said that he will make a new film on the band using some 55 hours of footage that was shot in January 1969 and is apparently never-seen-before by the public.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Calling it their farewell documentary titled ‘Let It Be’, the film follows the original movie with the same name, directed by Michael Lindsay- Hogg. The 1970 film came out right after the band broke up and has been long viewed as a chronicle of the band members growing apart.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Peter calls the footage an “amazing historical treasure-trove," and added,"sure, there's moments of drama - but none of the discord this project has long been associated with."</p>

<p>Peter will make another turn to documentaries after his recent ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’, a film on World War I that is brought to life with restored heavily-damaged, grainy footage. Peter transferred all this into 3D and even used expert lip readers to restore lost dialogue.</p>

<p>He is working on ‘Let It Be’ with the cooperation of McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison. The new project was announced on the 50th anniversary of one of the highlights of ‘Let It Be,’ the Beatles' spirited performance on the roof of Apple Records in London.</p>

<p>No release date has been set as of yet for the film.&nbsp;</p>
