Urge to kill..... rising......

Disney and director Robert Zemeckis are negotiating to remake “Yellow Submarine,” the 1968 psychedelic animated film based on the music of The Beatles.

The studio has been quietly brokering a complicated rights deal that would give Zemeckis access to 16 original Beatles songs for a movie he will direct in the performance-capture 3-D digital production format he employed for “A Christmas Carol.” Disney opens that film November 6, with Jim Carrey playing Scrooge as well as the three ghosts who haunt him in the Charles Dickens tale.

5. The same guy who did "Death Becomes Her"? And I agree,

Hollywood is denying future writers any opportunity because of this remake cesspool. Where are the actors with their bullshit beliefs? Behind a phony union that keeps other actors out too.

(yes, I'm losing faith.)

8. I don't what the big deal is. The original will still exist and you probably won't be forced to

watch the remake.
