Mary McCartney to direct Abbey Road Studios documentary If These Walls Could Sing

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.”
