Well...it can't be as bad as The BeeGees in Sgt. Pepper right??

At first I thought that this post said he was dead, and I was all, "Oh well, Forrest Gump sucked anyway."

Shh, it's okay, it's okay. Maybe it won't be a disaster. He did do "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," after all, so clearly he's coming from a fan's perspective.

Oops..sorry :-p

There is a huge difference between doing a movie about a band and completely remaking something they did - part of the charm about it was the art/animation, and the new version is going to be CGI'd all to hell.

Arb, what's your main concern? Let's cry it out here.

Edit: Never mind, simultaneous post.

I agree completely.  This is going to blow.

I see what you mean. That would be like remaking "A Hard Day's Night" (just threw up a little again).

What I meant was, maybe it will just be terrible, and not insultingly, soul-crushingly terrible if he does it with the love of a fan. As opposed to like, Uwe Boll or McG.

arbolita

If he were really a fan he would appreciate it for what it is and leave it alone.

beatlesgirl25

Good point. Have you read anything about why he is doing this in the first place?

arbolita

No, but I'm sure he's just trying to cash in on the resurgance in popularity The Beatles have had lately.

beatlesgirl25

Oh dear. I shudder to think of what might be "re-made" next.

Btw, I might be crazy but I swore I saw Ringo, Ben Harper, and a Japanese violinist perform on The Daily Show last night. Did you catch that? They did a random song, and then "With a Little Help From My Friends," but got cut off toward the end. I don't know why they were there doing that together, so maybe I was dreaming?

arbolita

Ringo has a new album coming out, so I know he's been going around doing the talk show circuit.

beatlesgirl25

Ah, makes sense. I was surprised with the pairing with Ben Harper and his band. They were basically just singing/playing backup, which I guess is what you do when you play with a Beatle. Even an old grump like Ringo.
