Disney has put a new version of the Jules Verve classic titled 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo on the fast track and signed Terminator Salvation director McG to helm it.

Not many details are known, but the movie will supposedly follow Captain Nemo and the creation of his ship, The Nautilus. It’s being written by Bill Marsilli (Deja Vu).

McG is also in discussions to oversee development and direct the next film in the Terminator trilogy, which is a surprise to me, as I thought he was already in as director on all three. This likely means that Captain Nemo will be one fast-moving project, one Disney apparently wants THIS year.

Oh, McG, you’ve done it this time.

Speaking of… I think it’s time Mr. G goes to full-name status. It’s time to grow up a little professionally and drop that weirdo abbreviation name, sir. I know that it’s adorable, but seriously, you’re making blockbusters now, this isn’t Charlie’s Angels. The Rock did it, so can you.
