Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese appears pretty prominently throughout the new Beatles documentary on Disney+, Beatles '64 — but why?

With his new, high-profile Disney+ rock documentary, the great filmmaker Martin Scorsese has done something few would have believed possible: he has made the Beatles boring.

Director David Tedeschi takes vérité footage shot by the Maysles brothers and incorporates it into a meditation on what the Beatles meant in 1964.

Beatles ’64’ director David Tedeschi, and co-producers Martin Scorsese and Olivia Harrison shared what they loved about the new documentary at a recent premiere screening of the film.

Dwayne Johnson may be known for his muscles, but in order to play the larger-than-life demigod Maui in the upcoming live-action “Moana,” he’s getting a little help from a bodysuit.
