Yellow Submarine 3D Voice Cast

The voice cast of Robert Zemeckis' Yellow Submarine 3D has been announced:

- Dean Lennox Kelly as John Lennon

- Peter Serafinowicz as Paul McCartney

- Adam Campbell as Ringo Starr

- Cary Elwes as George Harrison

They won't be singing or performing in the movie, they're just lending their voices for a few scenes, so I guess this cast will be fine.

Yellow Submarine Movie

There is a remake of Yellow Submarine ahead of us! Disney intends indeed to bring a breath of fresh air to The Beatles' 1968 animated movie which has since become cult. This new Yellow Submarine movie will use the latest technologies and will be produced in 3D, hence its title of Yellow Submarine 3D.

Director Robert Zemeckis has been hired to head the film development. But he won't be working under the aegis of Pixar as some may have hoped. Disney prefers to assign the project to ImageMovers Digital, Disney's state-of-the-art performance capture animation studio which is operated in conjunction with Zemeckis and his partners.

Disney has already unveiled a first promo picture of the Yellow Submarine 3D:

YELLOW SUBMARINE 3D
Robert Zemeckis is rather excited at idea of directing the Yellow Submarine 3D:

"Yellow Submarine' is one of the greatest fantasy films of all time, and making this new 3D performance capture movie is a dream come true for me. With the latest advances in technology, we will be able to take moviegoers on a voyage unlike any other, and bring new excitement and dimension to Pepperland and the various sea worlds they encounter. I'm thrilled to be working with the good folks at Apple Corps and our partners at Disney on this epic retelling of one of my all time favorite films."

Director Robert Zemeckis

For this fantastic new voyage to Pepperland, Zemeckis will incorporate the 16 Beatles songs and recordings from the original motion picture licensed from Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC and EMI-Capitol Records, respectively. The songs include "All Together Now", "All You Need Is Love", "Eleanor Rigby", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" while combining his unique vision and style to bring this dazzling tale to life.

Plot:
"The movie is set in Pepperland, an undersea paradise inhabited by music lovers who live in peace and harmony and are protected by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. That is... until they are threatened by the music hating Blue Meanies. It's up to John, Paul, George and Ringo to set off on a magical adventure in their yellow submarine and bring music and harmony back to Pepperland."

Robert Zemeckis got a real challenge ahead of us: you can be sure that his remake of the Yellow Submarine will be compared to the original film! So he'd better deliver a movie at least as great as the original or the fans of the Beatles will spit on him!

Anyway, I'm quite impatient the Yellow Submarine 3D: wouldn't miss such a psychedelic movie in 3D!
