The Beatles if he had filmed the Let It Be documentary himself.The Get Back director reflected on the “incredible” footage he inherited from Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who produced the 1970 documentary of the 1969 ‘Let It Be’ recording sessions.“The poor guy was herding cats the whole time and I was just feeling so many times that I would have lost it!” Jackson said at a Q&A as part of the IMAX release of The Beatles: Get Back – The Rooftop Concert, according to Metro.“I mean as much as I love the Beatles, I would have raised my voice at them a couple of times and read them the riot act because they would have driven me crazy, and Michael’s just so calm.”He added of his respect for Lindsay Hogg: “I particularly enjoy seeing Michael twitch and squirm when things aren’t going quite his way; as a director I can sympathise with that and find it kind of funny.“Some of my favourite bits in the rushes and the outtakes were Michael’s stuff because I don’t play in a band – I can love the Beatles and watch the Beatles like anyone – but crucially the person I was really relating to was Michael.” In a five-star review of The Beatles: Get Back, NME wrote: “After decades of old, tired stories getting respun, retold and republished, Jackson’s work offers a fresh look at pop’s greatest group.”

Weeks before his death, the disruptive filmmaker made LIT Project 2: Flux, which stars Kim Basinger in the first NFT collaboration between a legendary director and Oscar winning actress created specifically for and available only on the Ethereum blockchain. The project has been scheduled for January 25 release on that platform. Bodganovich worked with LIT, a project on the Ethereum blockchain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of NFTs.
The late Bogdanovich’s manager Oren Segal explained that the filmmaker grew very excited about the possibilities of NFT as a new medium. He brought Basinger to Segal’s office three weeks ago where he directed Basinger through a number of emotions. Her emotional expressions vary in time with the movement of a token in the market, commenting on the way we let fluctuating external events create our internal reality, he said.
“Peter directed a set of clips with Kim acting out all these emotions, with Peter narrating the clips with his voice,” Segal said. “They had extensive conversations about it. It’s a new medium, and Peter was really compelled to jump right into it, and now it becomes part of his legacy.”
While most NFTs so far feature artists making digital moving images, Bogdanovich and Basinger wanted to do something a bit different.
Said Basinger: “After telling a friend the other day that I had just worked with Peter Bogdanovich, he said, ‘Wow! You were literally in his last picture show!’. I thought about it and realized, what an honor to be the last artist he ever directed. Although we had just met, and it was only for a small project on a Sunday afternoon in
