Could Our Beatles Invade! films face legal challenges?

They could, but it's very unlikely that they will. They'll lose. Despite their claims, life rights don't preclude other people telling the same story. Music rights are the sticky wicket, and Sir Paul assures us he didn't assign them to Sony. Their plan was based on a US theatrical release. Ours isn't. We're basing our financing on international presales and Imagine Triptych profits. We'll have all the songs and the official branding; Apple Corps hated their scripts. Sony needs to make a bunch of other movies, ideally musicals set in the 1960's. That's the easiest way to save the standing sets. You might also want to produce our concept: Waiting For The Beatles. Though Sam didn't appreciate that pitch, we were serious. Use all your A-listers to tell a story about what it was like to be in their orbit. We might even licence some tracks... - It's a waste of time to argue with me: Paul and Yoko are the ones to email/phone.
