Movie producer: "Let's make a movie based on Beatles songs!"

Yup, some crackhead "movie producer" is doing just that...

1. It's a musical and it looks pretty cool....

[Archae]

2. Some people said that about the older one also.

5. I remember when that movie came out and I don't remember

anyone thinking that it would be a good movie...

7. The producer thought so.

Saw an interview with the guy at the time, he did look like he had too much blow. :-)

3. what about "All This and World War II"

the scenes of the attack on pearl harbor set to "here comes the sun" was genius.

8. On man

I owned that album and played the hell out of it! Never did see the flick. My fave was Rod Stewart performing "Get Back".

4. Now THAT was a great movie.

Not really a good movie, but still a great movie.

The voice of Sandy Farina singing Strawberry Fields Forever still haunts the part of my soul that remembers my childhood infatuations.

Then there was this (Not George Burns singing "Fixing a hole--" Couldn't find that. :( )

[Orsino]

10. Ah, a sequel to I am Sam. n/t

11. Three words:

Oh HELL no! :argh:

[meegbear]

12. At least there's dialog ...

as opposed to all singing (excluding George Burn's narration, of course).

But it looks like a MUST AVOID this summer.

13. Poor Sandy Farina

7 years after doing Sgt. Pepper she did Star Search and was in the Toxic Avenger.

She fared better than the writer tho, who's only other credit was The Great Skycopter Rescue.
