McG Remaking 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Disney is remaking 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea , and theyve hire the guy currently responsible for making Terminator Salvation happen to direct it. Variety says McG is helming 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo for them. First, Im not sure why this movie needs the Captain Nemo subtitle, unless Disney is hoping people will confuse the movie with Finding Nemo . Or maybe theyve had success with excessively long titles on the Pirates franchise so now they think they have to inflate the word count on all of their ...

... Supposedly, this will be a "family film", though I'm not sure what sort of "family film" could have Nemo as its main character; in the original film, it was not James Mason's revenge-seeking captain that we were supposed to identify with primarily, but the Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre and Kirk Douglas characters who were almost killed by him. The new film will be written by Bill Marsilli (Deja Vu) and directed by McG (Terminator: Salvation). -- Variety 2. Olivia Wilde says the makers of ...
McG to Direct 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo
/Film —
What will McG be directing after Terminator Salvation? Terminator 5? Nope. Disney has signed McG to direct 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo for $8 million against 7% of the gross according to Variety. I’m likely to be screamed at by the anti-McG club, but I’m convinced that McG has the talent to make a visually stunning film, which is exactly what Nemo needs to be. What McG has lacked most of his career has been a good script. However, I’d almost rather him stick to a darker sci-fi path, especially after what ...

McG Heads '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'
Cinematical —
Almost three years ago, there was word that New Line was going to remake 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- Disney's first live-action film that starred Kirk Douglas and James Mason. In 2007, Sam Raimi said he was looking over scripts (as producer, not director), and then nothing. The project just seemed to fade away. Well, while there's no remake on the immediate horizon, Variety reports that we are going to get an origin story courtesy of Disney and helmed by McG. The project is called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo, and will (obviously) feature Nemo as he creates the ...
Morning Deal Report: McG Under the Sea
The Screengrab —
McG is in demand! Not by me or you or anyone who actually enjoys watching movies, of course, but by studio execs who can’t get enough of the half-named wonder. The Terminator: Salvation director has settled on his next project and it is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo. That thoroughly unnecessary and downright distracting subtitle is our first hint that this is not something to look forward to. “Scripted by Bill Marsilli, the film is an origin story of Nemo as he creates his warship, the Nautilus. The characters come from the Jules Verne novel,” Variety insists. The last time we saw Captain ...

Hollywood Elsewhere —
The Devil and the Nautilus Nobody wants to see a shot-for-shot, concept-copying remake of the old 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea , but with McG at the helm of Nemo , a new version of the Jules Verne novel, it can be safely assumed that the stuff that worked in the 1954 Disney version will be either ignored or vulgarized beyond recognition. But it's a good thing, at least, that McG has been consigned to the family-film ghetto. Keep him there.

When I heard that McG was directing "Nemo" for Disney, I thought, cool! They’re making a sequel to "Finding Nemo."
Nope, it’s "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo," a family film being fast tracked by the studio. I’m still holding out hope for a "Finding Nemo" sequel, but this sounds like a fun movie, too.
It’ll be a departure for McG, who most recently helmed "Terminator: Salvation," which had multiple studios vying for his next project. Sean Bailey ("Tron") is producing with McG’s Wonderland Sound and ...
