This week there has been a lot of news in Hollywood. First, Sam Raimi politely gave Sony the finger and walked off the Spiderman 4 set. Of course, the webslinger has followed suit. The good news is we'll probably see another Evil Dead film. The bad news is that the whole Spiderman series will be getting a reboot, which is kind of odd because when Spiderman was released in 2002, it was the closest comic book adaptation until Nolan resurrected Batman. I can't see why they have to start all over from scratch when Sam Raimi gave fans the Spiderman they wanted. Speaking of Spiderman, that musical has also been delayed indefinitely. Why would they spend so much money on a production, which will likely close within six months and half the fanboys cannot afford the ticket prices.
Another bit of news that I found out is that Robert Zemeckis will be using the computer animated technology from A Christmas Carol to remake "Yellow Submarine." Yes, you heard right. The guy, who once made hits like "Back To The Future", is taking one of the trippiest animated movies of all time and making it a 3-D adventure. I mean it's one thing to take the original movie and make it 3-D like Nightmare Before Christmas, but a remake is not necessary and quite honestly irrelevant.
Maybe I shouldn't hold my doubts because I don't know how close Zemeckis will stay to the source material, but we'll have to wait and see. I hope the actors who are playing the Beatles do the singers justice. The one cool thing is that the members of the Fab Four, one of the most popular Beatles tribute bands will be providing vocals. The most recognizable among American would be Cary Elwes, (Saw, Princess Bride.)
This has been Ian K. Feldman speaking words of wisdom... You have been warned.
