The trouble with Hollywood is their mind blowing addiction to movie remakes. How many ticket buyers forked out the bucks for Total Recall in 2012? Did you slam the kids into the seats for the official rerelease of Monsters Inc? Footloose?
It's not over yet! 50 films are slated to be refurbished with modern attempts at acting. They include: Dirty Dancing, Robo Cop, A Star is Born, The Crow, Barbarella, The Birdsw, Escape from New York, Heavy Metal, Lethal Weapon, My Fair Lady and Short Circuit.
Guess what movies been taken off the books? The Beatles classic Yellow Submarine.
According to RollingStone Magazine Robert Zemeckis has dropped his planned remake because it would put him behind the eight ball.
Zemeckis has latched onto a fair share of Hollywood fame with Back to the Future and Forrest Gump but believes remaking Yellow Submarine isn't worth the investment of time, money or space.
Zemeckis and Disney had been planning the remake of the Beatles' 1968 film since 2009 and even found a cast of voice actors and a Beatles tribute band in 2010. But Disney left the project last year and, though Zemeckis would have been able to take the film to other studios, it seems he's focusing his attention elsewhere. His latest film, Flight, opened last month.
