Robert Pattinson to Play John Lennon?

The Internet is abuzz with a juicy piece of news concerning none other than current It Boy Robert Pattinson.

Star Magazine has reported that Pattinson, 23, is in talks with director Robert Zemeckis to play the legendary Beatle John Lennon in Disney's 3-D remake of the classic cartoon Yellow Submarine.

The original 1968 animated feature film, based on the music of The Beatles, has the Beatles characters in the film voiced by other actors, and the real members of the legendary band only appeared in the closing scene of the film.

The new movie is reportedly going to be "set in Pepperland, an undersea paradise protected by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. When the band are captured by the music-hating Blue Meanies, a soldier is sent to Liverpool to fetch the Fab Four, who hop in the submarine and save the day," according to AceShowbiz. The movie is written, and will be directed by, Robert Zemeckis. The film is slated for a 2012 release.

However, nothing has been confirmed as of now about Pattinson's involvement in the film. Gossip Cop tried to reach director Robert Zemeckis' company for a statement, but received no confirmation.

Who wouldn't love to see Pattinson play musical genius Lennon? You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
