Disney scraps Yellow Submarine remake
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 16 March 2011
The 3D remake of ‘Yellow Submarine’ being overseen by ‘Back To The Future’ director Robert Zemeckis has been dropped by Disney, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Hooray for Disney. Zemeckis is now free to shop the project around to other studios, though.
According to THR, Disney was put off after the Zemeckis-produced film ‘Mars Needs Moms’ scored low opening weekend box office takings. There may also have been concerns that the motion capture technology the director planned to use in creating his new version of The Beatles film made the characters look a bit creepy.
