ComingSoon.net - 30 most recent stories —
Latino Review talked to Terminator Salvation director McG, who let slip that he wants Will Smith to star in his just-announced 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo at Disney. "The character Nemo in this film is more about obsession, he is obsessed and people tend to forget that when you become so obsessed you end up being the villain," McG told the site, adding "Man I'm trying to get Will Smith to do it, been trying to get a hold of him. I've been wanting to work with him for a long time already. That guy's great." The film is an origin story of Nemo ...

What do you think? Is Smith a good choice? Who would you have chosen? Is McG really there? And I was serious when I asked when we can start calling this guy Joseph McGinty. Let us know by commenting below!

... here... The guys over at Latino Review had a chance to talk to McG recently about his 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA project, and learned that director McG wants Will Smith to ride on something that's long and hard and full of seamen. 'Man I’m trying to get Will Smith to do it, been trying to get a hold of him. I've been wanting to work with him for a long time already. That guy's great" ...says McG in THIS REPORT at Latino Review. I remember Ben Cross' tragically tepid Captain Nemo in 1997's TV adaptation of the same material, and it's difficult to imagine Smith being any ...

…Captain Nemo?
From Latino Review, who really did their jobs at the Terminator roadshow with McG (signed on to do 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea after T4):
McG talked a bit about his idea and frankly I was getting my jacket to get out of there when all of a sudden I heard him say, “The character Nemo in this film is more about obsession, he is obsessed and people tend to forget that when you become so obsessed you end up being the villain.”

McG Wants Will Smith for His 20,000 Leagues' Captain Nemo?

... Under the Sea. While it is yet another Hollywood remake, I claimed that it could potentially be a pretty awesome movie, especially with McG directing. Although he has yet to redeem himself after the Charlie's Angels movies, I think McG has found his calling with grittier big budget movies rather than comedic ones. Although we weren't expecting to see this 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for quite a few more years, McG apparently let slip to Latino Review that he's looking to get Will Smith in the role as Captain Nemo. ...

Hmm, interesting idea if you want to make bundles of money. But honestly, I don't know if this is a good match for the legendary captain (and pretty complex character) from Jules Verne's books. Well at least we know he likes underwater creatures, after watching Seven Pounds. [Latino Review]

McG Wants Will Smith to Play Captain Nemo?
Cinematical —
Last week, the trades announced that McG was going 20,000 leagues under the sea to tell the origin story of Captain Nemo and his incredible submarine. I'm sure we all began making a mental list of who would make a really cool Captain Nemo because that's what film fans do. Well, McG is doing the same thing, and when Latino Review caught up with him at the Terminator: Salvation roadshow, they asked who his dream captain was. "Man I'm trying to get Will Smith to do it, been trying to get a hold of him. I've been wanting to work with him for a long time already. That guy's great." Oh. While Smith is capable of good work, he isn't the actor that ...
