Randall Wallace has been recruited to do a rewrite of Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo," based on the classic Jules Verne character. "Terminator Salvation" helmer McG will direct the film which Sean Bailey of Idealogy is producing alongside McG.

"Captain Nemo" will strive to tell the tale of his origins as well as Nautilus, his submarine warship. Justin Marks and Bill Marsilii worked the sctipt previously.

Sean Connery had starred in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," a fantasy adventure/sci-fi flick in which Nemo and his submarine had a large part.
