'If These Walls Could Sing' will explore the legendary recording studio’s history in conjunction with Abbey Road’s 90th anniversary this November.
Sir Paul McCartney's daughter, Mary McCartney, is officially slated to direct a feature-length documentary on Abbey Road Studios - titled If These Walls Could Sing.
Universal Music Group’s recently-launched production house Mercury Studios announced a documentary about the legendary location, with John Battsek taking the production reins.
If These Walls Could Sing will be directed by filmmaker and photographer Mary McCartney - the daughter of Paul and Linda - and will will offer a behind-the-scenes look at The Beatles' recording venue.
Mary McCartney's own memories of sharing the studio with her father, Paul McCartney, shaped the documentary.
“Some of my earliest memories as a young child come from time spent at Abbey Road,” she said in a statement. “I’ve long wanted to tell the story of this historic place, and I couldn’t be collaborating with a better team than John and Mercury Studios to make this creative ambition a reality.”

Isabel Garvey, managing director of Abbey Road Studios, added: “’If these walls could sing.’ I have lost count of how many times I’ve heard that said at Abbey Road Studios over the years. I can’t wait for some of these stories to finally come to life in what will become a timeless documentary.”
