Robert Zemeckis, who's directing the remake of "Yellow Submarine" (which we announced here) for Disney, says he'd love to have Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on board.
In an interview with MTV News, he said, "We haven't gotten the word yet on the two surviving Beatles, whether they're interested in doing it or not."
But asked if it would be his choice for them to be in it, he said, "Of course it would be."
He also said he hopes the new version will be something special. "I think it's a perfect example of a movie that can be re-envisioned in the digital cinema and be absolutely beyond spectacular. ... I call it, 'Yellow Submarine: The Digital Trip!' "
"The Beatles have always been a great source of inspiration for me," Zemeckis, who was the director of the charming 1978 film "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," says. The movie was set around the Fab Four's first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
