History
In November 2013, shortly before the foundation of Holmesfilm, Dezern announced on his deleted Twitter account that a Beatles film was in production. "I don't know how long it will be, but what I can tell you is that it will be great!" he stated. Only three weeks later, he announced that he had poor grades in school, causing him to cancel the film, but not discarding the screenplay.

In late 2014, Dezern announced that he would do a documentary of Walt Disney for a school project. After winning the school competition, but stopping cold at county, where he "didn't when a damn thing," He claimed a few days later that he would continue making mini-documentaries, as the Disney one was "great fun." In May of 2015, a friend of his, Bailey Meinik, who had been a viewer of the Walt Disney film, suggested to Dezern that he do a documentary of his favorite band, The Beatles, and he highly, and quickly accepted. Prior to this, knowing that he'd continue his career, Dezern decided that he had to do something related to his favorite band before he went to college. He once stated that without The Beatles, the world would be "a soulless, musicless, non-happy, gray, dull world."

Production
The screenplay that was used for the cancelled 2013 production was rewritten, and production on a new film began. Dezern has admitted himself that even though he is putting much hard work into the film, he has very low optimism for the film receiving well. "It's just one of those points in the production where you think all will fail." he stated in a Tweet. In November, Dezern announced that a new Holmesfilm logo was being worked on, and is scheduled to debut at the beginning and end of the film.

The film wrapped principal photography on 29 November 2015, and the film was sent into executive production, where only minor problems were fixed. On 7 December 2015, one day before the 35th anniversary of John Lennon's murder, Dezern posted to the Here Come The Sons Facebook page, "At 9:31pm today, The Beatles: Here Come The Sons officially wrapped all production. While the film is complete, only select people who have entered things will see it in the coming weeks. Thank you for your love and support on this project in the last four months." Dezern stated that all that there is left to do is wait for February.

In December 2015, Dezern announced on the official Facebook page that the film's release date was moved to precisely a month earlier, due to "high anticipation."

Trivia

 * The film was originally going to be called "The Beatles: Never Too Much."
 * The first trailer to the film was released in June of 2015, bearing the original title. Dezern stated that he intended to make it resemble the teaser trailer to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
 * Norm Henson was originally set to seek the music, and Jak Kickliter was set to be the executive producer of the film, however, Henson never got around to the music, and Kickliter was unable to do an executive producer job, which resulted in Dezern seeking the music, and Ryan Karcher becoming executive producer of the film.
 * The film was dedicated to Andy White, the drummer for the song "Love Me Do," who passed away in November 2015, in the middle of production.
 * Peggy Healy came up with the name "Here Come The Sons," possibly referring to The Beatles being "the sons of rock."
 * This is the first film of Dezern's that has a censor bleep in it. In an interview on the death of Brian Epstein, John Lennon calls the Maharishi a "fucking idiot," therefore the censor bleep is added. Another version without it may be released.

Name
In September of 2015, Dezern held a contest on his Facebook and Instagram accounts to see which of four names would be best for the film. Oren Goldfinger, Norm Henson, Matthew Thibodeau, and Peggy Healy entered their own titles, and Dezern's peers voted. Thibodeau's "A British Rockumentary" received three votes, and was recycled for Dezern's upcoming documentary on The Who. Goldfinger's "When They Was Fab" received one vote, and could not be used, as it was copyrighted material, as a documentary of the same title had already been released. Henson's "Out Of Liverpool and Across The Universe" received four votes, is the working title for a possible Beatles biopic. Healy's "Here Come The Sons" received nine votes, therefore becoming the official name for the film.
