The Beatles Yellow Submarine REMAKE!

:ohmy: I have to say I have mixed emotions about this. I suppose if it is done right and features actual Beatles music and not covers it could be a good thing.
 
Let's hope this isn't the case, becuase this isn't exactly true. But the guy who directed Polar Express and Beowulf? Doubtful.

I'm not sure, but I'm a huge Beatles fan, have been for a very long time, and I'm hoping for the best with this one. I'd love to see an awesome, psychedelic, trippy as hell Yellow Submarine remake with all real Beatles tunes and some fantastic blue meanies and of course--A cool Boob character!
 
A remake without the Beatles? I'll pass. Call me down on Hollywood, but I don't see much good in recycling this property. Sure the original had '60's written all over it but that is part of its charm. I can see them using every Hollywood trick to make it for today's audience - the Beatles are out to save the enviornment, one of the characters has to be gay and since they're all males you have to throw in a female 5th Beatle who kicks *** in a martial arts way. And by the way, they all have super powers of some kind or deep dark sides from past psychological trauma. Sorry, but I'll take the fab 4 and will chuckle at all of the stuff from the 60's.
 
What did you expect...the Beatles consumer has bought how many versions of the music? Of course the whorish, imagination lacking entertainment industry would go back to the teat.

Sorry, but the Beatles consumer has brought this upon him/her self.
 
Keep in mind The Beatles weren't actually the voices in the original either so I don't mind too much assuming they use the original songs.
 
Like, Wow man! Maybe if inhale enough fumes from some Hai Karate aftershave I might find it interesting.

The first time that I saw the original was in the American embassy in Hamburg Germany. Parts didn't makes sense then, it took more viewings to get a handle on it all.
 
Another film to add to my "Never Watch!" list. I think that whatever creative powers Zemeckis once had evaporated around 1990 (Forrest Gump is unbearable), and I can't imagine him coming up with anything other than an overblown, unwatchable piece of garbage with this remake. Of course, YMMV.
 
I could see if the original people involved wanted to try again, because they can do things now they couldn't do before, but otherwise, I say leave it alone.

I wish Hollywood would quit with all the remakes and turning T.V. shows into movies and start taking chances on some fresh, original ides. You know there are out there, they just don't have built in audiences.

It's so sad. :sad:
 
Creative people are not doing enough (or the right) drugs these days to pull this off properly.
Creative people won't be involved in any way... it's a remake. :biggrin:

She will also have to be a minority, and in a wheelchair. Otherwise there will have to be a 6th and 7th Beatle as well. I guess that would make poor Murray the K the 8th Beatle...
