Ron Howard will direct a documentary on the Beatles that focuses on the band’s touring years during the early 1960s. The film is being made with the cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. The as-yet-untitled film is the second documentary directed by Howard, who said he’s long been a Beatles fan. The film will run up to the Beatles’ final concert in San Francisco’s Candlestick Park in 1966. Much footage for the documentary has already been gathered.
