Robert Zemeckis to re-make Yellow Submarine

Photobucket

Robert Zemeckis is set to re-make the film Yellow Submarine.. it isn't known whether or not he'll actually be able to use the original Beatles songs, as it proved nearly impossible for any director to get ahold of them, even prior to Michael Jacksons death. (For those of you who don't know, Jackson owned the rights to the Beatles songbook which he outbid Paul McCartney for in the 80s).

I don't know how I feel about this yet.. In the original, the voices weren't actually done by The Beatles, only the songs were, so it would probably be the same kind of thing this time around....
