There is a remake of Yellow Submarine ahead of us! Disney intends indeed to bring a breath of fresh air to The Beatles' 1968 animated movie which has since become cult. This new Yellow Submarine movie will use the latest technologies and will be produced in 3D, hence its title of Yellow Submarine 3D.

Director Robert Zemeckis has been hired to head the film development. But he won't be working under the aegis of Pixar as some may have hoped. Disney prefers to assign the project to ImageMovers Digital, Disney's state-of-the-art performance capture animation studio which is operated in conjunction with Zemeckis and his partners.

Disney has already unveiled a first promo picture of the Yellow Submarine 3D:
Robert Zemeckis is rather excited at idea of directing the Yellow Submarine 3D:
For this fantastic new voyage to Pepperland, Zemeckis will incorporate the 16 Beatles songs and recordings from the original motion picture licensed from Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC and EMI-Capitol Records, respectively. The songs include "All Together Now", "All You Need Is Love", "Eleanor Rigby", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" while combining his unique vision and style to bring this dazzling tale to life.

Plot:

“The movie is set in Pepperland, an undersea paradise inhabited by music lovers who live in peace and harmony and are protected by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. That is… until they are threatened by the music hating Blue Meanies. It’s up to John, Paul, George and Ringo to set off on a magical adventure in their yellow submarine and bring music and harmony back to Pepperland.”

There will be some pressure on Zemeckis to get this remake right… So many fans would be pissed off if he wasn’t respectful of the source material!
Robert Zemeckis got a real challenge ahead of us: you can be sure that his remake of the Yellow Submarine will be compared to the original film! So he'd better deliver a movie at least as great as the original or the fans of the Beatles will spit on him!

Cast:

The 3D and motion capture work in Avatar may be the biggest cinematic talking points going right now but don’t forget about Robert Zemeckis. He’s been in the mocap and 3D trenches, and is moving forward with a remake of the animated Beatles film Yellow Submarine. The film will use mocap and CGI to recreate the hand-drawn animation of the original film, while a small collection of voices will stand in as the new Beatles. Meet the quartet after the break.

THR reports on the new cast assembled by Zemeckis, and it’s a mix of great and odd choices. Cary Elwes (George Harrison), Dean Lennox Kelly (John Lennon), Peter Serafinowicz (Paul McCartney)and Adam Campbell (Ringo Starr) are the quartet in talks to become the ‘new’ Beatles.
Serafinowicz is an impeccable choice, and I think I can buy Kelly as Lennon. I’m less sold on Elwes as Harrison and not at all certain about Campbell as Starr. In the latter case, I’m definitely prejudiced by his association with films like Epic Movie and Date Movie. As long as the voices work, though, it’ll be fine.

Remember that, for the most part, the Beatles didn’t provide the voices for their animated avatars in the original film. But for a couple of small segments, the Yellow Submarine fab four were imitators.

Making things more complicated, this voice cast will only provide voices. Mocap work for band performances will be performed by a tribute band called The Fab Four, and they’ll be miming to original Beatles tracks, sixteen of which will be used in the film.

Zemeckis wrote the script for this version of the story, but it is expected to essentially follow the original, in which the Beatles traveled to Pepperland in a yellow submarine with a soldier named Old Fred.
