Disney kills Robert Zemeckis' creepy motion-capture version of Yellow Submarine
After Mars Needs Moms sent audiences screaming into the night, their veins turned glacial and chattering by Robert Zemeckis’ hollowed-out simulacra of human life—and more importantly, refusing to give it any money—Disney has quietly put an end to its proposed remake of Yellow Submarine, in which Zemeckis would similarly drag The Beatles into the shadows of the uncanny valley. The Hollywood Reporter floats the idea that the decision is directly related to Mars' horrible opening numbers; however, the studio was quick to point out and/or spin that the project was already in jeopardy well before Mars tanked at the box office.
