McG To Direct Disney’s 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA Remake!!
I am – Hercules!!
McG (“Terminator: Salvation”) will direct Disney’s remake of “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea” from a screenplay by Bill Marsilii (“Déjà vu”).
It’s based on the 1870 Jules Verne novel
Harry says I should start offering opinions when I post something about film, so here goes. I loved McG's first "Charlie's Angels" with Bill Murray and Cameron Diaz' swirling ass. It was funny and cool and very pure cinema in my opinion, so I'm looking forward to this and "Terminator Salvation" and anything else at which the man cares to make a run.
