Zemeckis' ImageMovers shuttered, but freaking YELLOW SUBMARINE remake refuses to die

Sunday, March 28, 2010


I was fiendishly happy to hear the recent news that Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers mo-cap studio had closed its doors. It's not that I rejoiced in seeing a lot of hard-working animators unemployed or that I had a grudge against Zemeckis himself, but the closing of the studio meant that Zemeckis' hideously ill-conceived Yellow Submarine mo-cap remake probably wasn't going to happen.

Well, it looks like even the loss of ImageMovers isn't going to stop Zemeckis from producing a CGI horror show based on the beloved 60s classic. Heavy sigh. Heavy sigh indeed.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
