New Line is taking Captain Nemo back under the sea.
The studio has grabbed a pitch by Craig Tilley to update Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
The original Disney filmed starred James Mason, Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre in a hunt for a huge, mysterious creature that has become a threat to shipping.
The new version will focus more on the background of Nemo and the prisoners aboard his sub, the Nautilus. Sam Raimi will be producing, but he doesn’t plan to direct.
