NEW YORK (AP) — Ron Howard will direct a documentary on the Beatles that
focuses on the band’s touring years during the early 1960s.

Howard announced the project Wednesday. The film is being made with the
cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.
The Beatles company, Apple Corps, is co-producing the film.

The as-yet-untitled film is the second documentary directed by Howard, who
said he’s long been a Beatles fan. Howard previously made the 2013 Jay-Z
documentary "Made in America."

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.
The movie is tentatively slated for release late next year.

Boris Karloff is best remembered for his roles in horror films such as
Frankenstein’s monster in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein
(1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939). His best-known non-horror
portrayal is the Grinch, as well as the narrator, in the animated TV  
special of Dr. Seuss’s How the  Grinch Stole Christmas (1966).     

 
This CBS television special was filmed in September 1957 and was aired on
December 8 of that year. Except for host Glenn Ford, none of the people in 
this documentary are actors.
