McG Finds Nemo

TERMINATOR SALVATION hasn’t even come out yet, and already Hollywood is all over McG’s jock. Apparently the big budget director had multiple studios vying for his next slot, with Disney eventually winning the battle to end all battles (sorry Thermopylae). McG will direct 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA: CAPTAIN NEMO for the studio, an origin story of Jules Verne’s infamous Captain Nemo, as he creates his warship, the Nautilus.

I’ll bet Disney is licking their lips with this one, which has franchise potential written all over it. There’s even a ride based on the original 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, and we all remember what happened the last time Mickey and friends based a movie on a famous ride. Johnny Depp was nominated for an Oscar, we met some cuties named Orlando and Keira, and a couple of bucks were made for all! Good luck McG!
