Yellow Submarine: Robert Zemeckis’ experience using 3-D performance-capture technology (The Polar Express, Beowulf) will soon come in handy on his remake of Yellow Submarine. Disney is reportedly working to get clearance on a list of Beatles songs for the project. (The 1968 animated film followed “Old Fred” and the Beatles as they traveled in their yellow submersible to Pepperland.) The goal is to have the film produced in time for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

New Old John Lennon Interview Revealed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Rock,
An old interview with John Lennon has recently come to light, revealing that there might have been a great deal of animosity among the post-breakup Beatles members. In an interview with Rolling Stone’s Jann Wenner, Lennon unleashed some anger toward former band mates.
“We got fed up with being sidemen for Paul [McCartney],” says Lennon at one point. He also said the “music died” in the group and that “we never improved,” which I think plenty of critics would argue with.

The Beatles: Rock Band hands-on impressions
Posted by Alex Lifschitz Categories: E3, Music, PlayStation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360,
By now, you’ve likely seen the hubbub that surrounded the unveiling of The Beatles: Rock Band at the Microsoft presser. Hell, the two remaining Beatles even took time out of their busy schedule of rolling around in huge piles of money and prestige to come onstage for approximately 2 seconds and say how awesome it was. Where does it stand in the growing pantheon of music games, though? Does it innovate? Can it woo new fans? Is it safe? Will it blend?
Well, Harmonix, if nothing else, is dedicated to the music. That being said, they did a fantastic job of doing the Beatles justice, even going so far as to disguise their E3 booth as giant replica of Abbey Road. Yeah. They roll like that.
Hit the jump to check out our opinions on The Beatles: Rock Band.

Mike Huckabee Backs Up Kris Allen on Beatles Tune
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos,
Combine a former presidential candidate with the current American Idol winner and what do you get? A kinda strange, yet kinda cool, musical collaboration.
This Sunday on the FOX News Channel, Kris Allen (an Arkansas native) and Mike Huckabee (the former Arkansas governor) will team up for an acoustic version of “Yesterday.” The result is a performance even Adam Lambert supporters should applaud.

The Beatles: Rock Band Announced
Posted by Alex Lifschitz Categories: Electronic Arts, Music, Party Games, Release Dates,
Well, ever since the folks at Harmonix got their hands on the Beatles catalogue, we all (and by that, I mean ‘I’) figured that this day was coming. Sure enough, Apple, MTV, and Harmonix have announced The Beatles: Rock Band for release on 9/9/09, and a website has been put up with nothing but an interior shot of (what I believe is) Abbey Road Studios (main recording studio for the Fab Four) and a ‘9.9.09’ plastered across the screen. The game will feature content by the Beatles (duh) and will be bundled with signature instrument replicas if you order the full shebang, and if that means I get to rock a little plastic Hofner, I’ll be there on day one. When reached for comment, Paul and Ringo both chased me off their property with vicious dogs. I tried to reach the other Beatles, but I unfortunately lent my shovel to the neighbors.
Hit the jump for the full press release.

Superheadz Retro Camera Blackbird, Fly
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Design,
Oddly enough, the Superheadz are releasing retro cameras. The Blackbird, fly has a twin lens arrangement and will make you feel at home at the next screening of “Magical Mystery Tour.” We understand that they only run about $100.00 each, meaning that you have to sacrifice auto-focus for looking cool. Even better than the name of the cam is the site of the Superheadz, so take a trip to the Magic Camera Tour 2008.
