Tom Cruise recently announced that his next starring vehicle will be an action-packed adaptation of a graphic novel with the title, All You Need Is Kill, which is itself a non-grammatical play on the Beatles' classic song, "All You Need Is Love."
But that's not the only Beatles classic that Hollywood plans to adapt into a big budget thriller. Realizing they could go much further, Hollywood is gunning to develop a host of other Beatles songs into action or horror franchises.
Below, a list of other songs in development:
