Disney In Talks To Remake "Yellow Submarine"

I must admit, I have zero interest at all in the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine", so I am totally indifferent to the news report that Disney, with Robert Zemeckis at the helm, is in talks for the rights to remake "Yellow Submarine".

Disney is working on a deal to get the rights to use 16 Beatles' tunes, including the movie's title track, "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "With a Little Help From my Friends, "All You Need Is Love," "All Together Now," "Baby You're a Rich Man" and "When I'm 64."

The deal would reportedly include rights for Disney to turn the film into a Broadway musical, like the company has already done with "The Lion King," as well as a Cirque du Soleil production.

That last part certainly makes sense. It is almost screaming for a musical to be made with those classic music.

Let's see if they're successful. Maybe the soundtrack will be sold on iTunes, and it'll be the first Beatles' tracks to appear there!
