Robert Zemeckis is negotiations to direct a remake of "Yellow Submarine" for Disney.
"Submarine" was a 1968 animated feature based on music by the Beatles. It was produced by United Artists and King Features Syndicate.
Disney had no comment on the dealmaking, which is in the thick of trying to acquire the rights to the music to the film, which included the title track as well as classics such as "Eleanor Rigby," "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "With a Little Help From My Friends."
Like all Zemeckis productions, "Submarine" would be done in performance capture and would also be a digital 3D endeavor.
The movie, a hit when it was released, is about a soldier called Old Fred who meets up with the Beatles and travels in a yellow submersible to Pepperland. Among the group's encounters are the Blue Meanies, music-hating creatures.
Zemeckis is repped by CAA.

Great, a 3D acid trip brought to you by Disney.
But, really, on one hand, I'm sort of interested in seeing it, on the other, I'd rather they just leave it alone.
