Director, Oscar and Grammy winner Morgan Neville will shoot a documentary about the singer, musician and one of the founders of The Beatles, Paul McCartney. This was reported on February 4 by the Deadline portal.

During this time, McCartney released such hits as Maybe I’m Amazed, Another Day, My Love, Band On The Run, Goodnight Tonight and others.
“Having been obsessed with everything related to McCartney all my life, I always felt that the 1970s were a greatly underestimated part of his history. I look forward to exploring and re-evaluating this defining moment in the life and work of a great artist, ”Deadline is quoted as saying.
