Robert Zemeckis' Yellow Submarine is Sunk
- Thread starter Starbreaker
- Start date
The cancellation of this film almost makes me want to renounce my atheism and scream at the top of my lungs that there is a god. 
I'm sorry, Starbreaker, but I was not looking forward to this film at all. Words cannot express the schadenfreude I feel right now.

Well, I'm a huge Beatles fan.... and it could have been trippy.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.The cancellation of this film almost makes me want to renounce my atheism and scream at the top of my lungs that there is a god.

I'm not high so I can't understand that quote. 
than what?
Than something that no one knows anything about.
We fear and loath the unknown and the future. That's why we watch science fiction, right?
Well gee, Trek is an elaboration of Forbidden Planet, which is an adaptation of The Tempest. Where does that leave us?
I just wish Robert Zemeckis would stop wasting time and money on these stupid motion capture movies and go back to making great real movies like "Back to the Future", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and "Cast Away". Somehow, I doubt he will, though. He seems obsessed with mo cap and will probably just find some other mo cap project to do.

This is a relief. Zemeckis's obsession with motion capture has ruined him as a filmmaker. He used to do terrific stuff, but now he's settled in the Uncanny Valley and it's not a pretty sight.
Agreed. He needs to go back to making "live action" films. Glad this was canceled.
found this interview, talking about RR2, but he also mentions Yellow submarine at the end, because it was still a go.
I think the reason I posted it is because he seems so dead serious about yellow submarine. He seems to have lost his grip on reality and his hunger to make any challenging films

Yeah, although if there's one thing motion capture would have a real use for is a Roger Rabit sequel that's been rumoured. That would be a good use for it.
Edit: lol whoops, you posted that just as I was making a reply.

So "Roger Rabbit 2" is for real still happening?
Than making a movie about a band where half the members are dead and can't participate and/or give their permission to have their likenesses/voices used?
(And, yes, I know: The original Beatles didn't do the speaking voices for the original film either. But that was their choice, not something occasioned by Hollywood after John's and George's deaths.)

On the bright side, maybe now Robert Zemeckis can go back to making decent live action movies again.
Well its not like Yellow Submarine was about the "real" Beatles in the first place. A biography it wasn't.
