ITS GONNA SUCK! YOU NEED THE BEATLES TO MAKE THAT MOVIE! THE ORIGINAL WAS HILARIOUS BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT HAD THE BEATLES!

I think this should be interesting, but the idea of The Beatles (especially the late John and George) coming back in this creepy almost real looking 3D is a little strange. I've heard a lot of Beatles fans that aren't pleased with this idea at all. I'll probably see it because I remember liking the original, but… Bringing back the dead with 3D motion capture? That may look a little creepy…

I actually saw an ad the other day with John Lennon in it talking about giving laptops to children in Africa and it was a little bizarre to hear his voice and see his reanimated corpse telling me about laptops. Zemeckis is taking a big risk with some of the most dedicated fans on the planet! I'm just glad he's not doing another Christmas movie… yet

Saw the original at the theater as a young teen, enjoyed it but it was definitely “trippy”.

Really can’t see the need to remake this; it was very much ‘of it’s time’, and I’m not aware of any really big Beatles revival going in at the moment that would cause people to flock to see a reinterpretation of a quirky 60′s musical cartoon.

Thank you,and good night.

Agree with Vincent. Of all the movies to remake, why this one? It’s not worth Zemeckis’s time.

Also, why post such an old picture of Elwes (despite the fact that it’s Princess Bride era)? He looks almost nothing like these days.

As a big fan of the Beatles, and someone who took a hell of a lot of LSD in high school, I thought that Yellow Submarine was a terrible movie. I don’t see why anyone would want to remake it. I’m also skeptical that the whole motion-capture approach will be able to capture the psychedelic feel of the movie. This just seems like a bad idea.

I think it’s “Watership Down” chief. No offense intended.

I can’t imagine a reason to remake “Yellow Submarine.” The original stands as it is, a perfect expression of its psychedelic self. I’m actually saddened that it’s being remade.

Of course you do realize that the original was made while The Beatles were in India on their guru trip.It wasn’t even their voices.The only thing they were a part of was the music and the little clip of film at the end.

Seriously?
They are going to remake Yellow Submarine? Blasphemy. Talk about unnecessary.

That said, you’re right about the 3D Beowulf thing working for this if it’s going to work for anything…but, still – I doth protest.

Zemeckis will have to be considered a god in film-making if he can remake Yellow Submarine and retain his sanity. Watched the original the other night, and I stand by my view.

I am going to say I will refuse to see this. You can’t replace the Beatles
