Captain Nemo has a Braveheart
Randall Wallace (“Braveheart”) has been brought aboard to rewrite "Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," for director McG and Disney.
Bill Marsilii and Justin Marks had been previously working on the script.
The new flick – which Will Smith has been long touted for - aims to tell the origin of Captain Nemo and his submarine warship, the Nautilus. Nemo is a mysterious but noble antagonist in the book, a scientific genius with a thirst for knowledge and a desire for revenge against the forces of imperialism.
In Verne's lesser-known sequel, "The Mysterious Island," Nemo is revealed as Indian Prince Dakkar, a rajah's son who took part in a failed rebellion and lost his wife and children. It is unclear how close to that back story Disney will stick, but "Nemo's" tone will be decidedly action-adventure.
I would love to see this! McG is shit on alot because of his amazing movies like Charlies Angels (sarcasm), but the man has a certain style of directing action, which would make a movie like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea more exciting. I believe (like it or hate it) Terminator:Salvation showed us what he can really do with an action scene without relying on CGI all the time. A movie like this that will ceratinly be visually stunning action packed is something that McG needs to prove he is not just the director who loves CGI, but one who can make a great action film. I think he is comming into his own and this will show it. The story in itself would be amazing to see come back to the screen for the present time. I love these under water tales ( um ....minus The Abyss lol)
