Beatles' Yellow Submarine re-make in the works
According to EMI, a remake of the Beatles' 1968 animated "Yellow Submarine" is planned for 2012.
From the press release:
The Beatles' seminal 1968 animated film 'Yellow Submarine' is to be re-made by Back To the Future director Robert Zemeckis, Variety reports.
Just as the original was a visionary work, Zemeckis hopes that his revolutionary performance-capture 3d techniques (used in his recent Polar Express and Beowulf movies) will also make the new version similarly ahead of its time.
Release date is being tentatively pencilled in for Summer 2012 to coincide with the London Olympics.

New comics Aug. 18, 2009: Batgirl! Bizarro Super Friends! Marvel Team-Up! Spidey and Mary Jane!
Selected items in shops this week. Click the links to order discounted items from Amazon:
BATGIRL #1 DC is hinting there's someone new behind the mask. Will this issue reveal who? I'm slightly curious, but doubt that it's Babs Gordon--the only Batgirl for me.
BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #3 This is a really basic Batbook to date. Solid, but not earth-shattering scripts and decent art. I'll likely hang in there for the remainder of this first storyline, as I enjoy a regular Batfix. But I don't know about after that. The backup feature, starring Manhunter, hasn't hooked me at all.
SUPER FRIENDS #18 My 6-year-old daughter is becoming a major comic book fan and loves this title. This ish features the Bizarro Super Friends. Great! My little girl will be Bizarro-talking just as she enters Kindergarten! That am good!
WEDNESDAY COMICS #7 Another ish of DC's fun weekly anthology.
ESSENTIAL MARVEL TEAM-UP TP VOL. 3 Spidey teams up with a whole bunch of folks in tales from MARVEL TEAM-UP #52-73, #75 and ANNUAL #1.
SPIDER-MAN AND MARY JANE: YOU JUST HIT THE JACKPOT Classic Spidey and MJ tales, including MJ's awesome "unveiling" as depicted on the cover. Features stories from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #43, #259, #291-292, #309 and Annual #19; UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER-MAN #16; the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: PARALLEL LIVES Graphic Novel; and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1999) #50.
