Robert Zemeckis Would Like Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney to Be Part of Yellow Submarine Remake

November 6, 2009 10:57 a.m. by Andrew Winistorfer

Hollywood's quest to ruin every okay older movie has caught up with Beatles nostalgia, as Robert Zemeckis, the guy behind that awful looking A Christmas Carol and other awful-looking movies, has announced plans to remake Yellow Submarine, an animated movie The Beatles didn't even lend their voices to. Zemeckis would like to change that last bit, saying he'd like Ringo and Paul to be involved:

"We haven't gotten the word yet on the two surviving Beatles, whether they're interested in doing it or not," the director, producer and screenwriter told MTV.
"The Beatles have always been a great source of inspiration for me. I think it's a perfect example of a movie that can be re-envisioned in the digital cinema and be absolutely beyond spectacular. I call it, 'Yellow Submarine: The Digital Trip!'"

I'm not sure why the remaining Beatles would want to hook up with the director of Polar Express to make another movie that proves the existence of the Uncanny Valley, but hey, they did put out a videogame this year, and no one thought that would happen. [Spinner]
