This article is somewhat misleading. This project secured the right to use cover songs (as many other shows and movies had done), not Beatles recordings (which is rare and would be news). Also this "movie" (which is now apparently a TV series?) has been promoting itself for years and years now and still lacks a script or director or to start pre-production. I doubt it will ever see the light of the day.

Oh? If true, that the songs will only be cover songs, then it was misleading. I took it to mean original songs.
