Robert Zemeckis now also realizes that remaking Yellow Submarine is a bad idea
Having recently remembered that there are still perfectly good human bodies walking the Earth, Robert Zemeckis seems to have corrected his post-Flight course by abandoning at least one of his most high-profile performance-capture projects—his long-gestating remake of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. Disney already killed the project nearly two years ago, but as Zemeckis' films like The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol have shown, there is no hollowed-out corpse that Zemeckis cannot bring to disturbing, mockery-of-life with his digital trickery. But now that Zemeckis has regained some perspective and appreciation for the warm touch of the living, he tells Moviehole he's no longer interested in dragging Yellow Submarine into the cold 21st century.
