LONDON - A 3D remake of the 1968 animated Beatles film Yellow Submarine may soon be possible.

According to trade magazine Variety, US director Robert Zemeckis is working with Disney to secure rights to use the 16 Beatles tunes that feature in the film.

The helmer is looking at using performance-capture format he used for previous films Beowulf and The Polar Express, reports the BBC News.

The earlier film showed the band travelling to an undersea paradise - Pepperland, protected by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - in order to free it from the music-hating Blue Meanies.

Songs including All You Need Is Love, When I’m 64, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band all featured in the film.

The new 3D film may be completed in time for the London 2012 Olympic Games. (ANI)
