‘Yellow Submarine’ Remake in the Works

All Aboard! ‘Yellow Submarine’ Remake in the Works - ArtsBeat Blog - NYTimes.com

More than 40 years after Old Fred fired up the titular vehicle of “Yellow Submarine” and used it to round up four Liverpool lads who would defend Pepperland from the Blue Meanies, Disney is preparing a remake of the Beatles’ 1968 animated movie, Variety reported.

The original film was a traditional (if thoroughly trippy) 2-D cartoon directed by George Dunning and designed by Heinz Edelmann, in which the Beatles appeared only in a live-action segment tacked on at the end. The planned remake, to be directed by Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”), will be a 3-D animated feature that would use the performance-capture technology seen in Mr. Zemeckis’s “Beowulf” and his coming remake of “A Christmas Carol.”

The Variety report said that Disney was still seeking to obtain rights to the Beatles songs used in the original “Yellow Submarine” film, including the title song and tracks like “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” The remake is being planned for a 2012 release.

No casting was announced for the motion-capture remake, though the project does call to mind Paul McCartney’s recent remarks to Daniel Radosh in The New York Times Magazine: “In 10 years’ time you’ll be standing there, and you will be Paul McCartney. You know that, don’t you?”

But what good is it if the Beatles don't voice their own parts?

**X-3** · 09-07-2009, 01:30 PM

My dad is a Beatles fan, so I'm wondering what he'll think of this.

No. Please. No more 3D. It looks ridiculously tacky and stupid. I hate to hate an entire medium, but 3D always has and likely always will suck.

They didn't in the original.

I'm gonna try to be open-minded about this, but I really loved "Yellow Submarine". And the idea of remaking something like that in and of itself seems bad. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

3-D like silly glasses or 3-D like computer animation?
