Yellow Submarine remake in the works...

According to Variety, Disney and Robert Zemeckis are planning to remake The Beatles 60's classic animated film Yellow Submarine. Zemeckis plans to use the 3-D performance-capture format that was used to create his Polar Express and Beowulf films.

What does this have to do with the Olympics you ask? Variety suggests, "Disney hopes to have the film ready to premiere around the 2012 Summer Olympics." It looks like Disney is hoping to ride the wave of publicity and excitement surrounding all things British during the next Summer Olympic Games.
