To Sony, Disney and others

You must accept failure to acquire the IP that you wish. You cannot make films based on my songs, my stories or my scripts. You cannot make films based on Paul McCartney's songs. Ironically, you're the ones accusing us of anti-competitive behaviour! Steve Barr may have promised a series based on my book, but that is not possible. He does not have the legal right, and APRA are a strong rights body. Your senior executives may wish to resign over the upcoming scandal. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SeXHC93Y-GNj2VsVbmCrLHgK7ANA6Tc0/view?usp=sharing - As I see it, you have hundreds of millions of wannabe Beatle funding and standing sets; make other films to meet your obligations for the exhibitors that you overpromised to. Make four films about four different Sixties bands and bill it as a deep exploration of the cultural phenomena, taking your lead from our scripts about the Beatles. I doubt any of those groups would be foolish enough to accept, but some are dead. - Despite the deaths of your actors, I have no contract with you. You cannot legally ask me to portray Sir Paul, and you must cease at this point. You cannot ask me to portray Tina or any other character who I have invented. You cannot ask me to licence songs to you. If you wish to remain in work, I suggest that you nix the threats and meet our lawyers. Sir Peter is proving a point: he's a big fish, not just a big fish in a small pond. He's the only person who can claim with some certainty that he has a green VFX pipeline. That's also true of the sets that he has built over the last 30 years. While you shits don't care about the environment, Apple Corps do. Sir Peter has been discussing a Beatles film with them since 2009, I think.
