McG, the director of Charlie’s Angels and the upcoming Terminator: Salvation, has been snagged by Disney to helm 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo.
The film will explore the character of Captain Nemo, as he creates the undersea vessel known as the Nautilius prior to the events of the classic 1954 movie.
Disney hopes McG will start production this year. The director will receive $8 million as well as 7% gross.
