Yellow Submarine Remake?

I read somewhere a few weeks ago that one was being discussed, didn't I? Or did I imagine that?

Well, my subconscious seems to have run with the idea, as I dreamed they made a live action remake of it and cast Samuel L Jackson as Old Fred. Bold choice from my subconscious!

"There are MF meanies on this MF submarine, MFs!!!"

I'm kinda warming to the idea. It's sort of a remake, the way sushi is a remake of fish and chips - both are great, and you can see where they both started with some similar material, but went in completely different directions!
