The first rule of Fight Sub: you don’t let McG direct Fight Sub.

Director David Fincher is in talks with Disney to direct a remake of Jules Verne’s classi submarine adventure, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Fincher is attempting to resurrect the project first helmed by McG, the famed auteur behind Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and Korn: Who Then Now?

Disney reportedly dropped McG from the project because they believed his take on the film was too dark. If you’re looking for more light-hearted fare, Fincher is the obvious choice. I’m sure the scene where Captain Nemo finds his wife’s severed head in a box will be a real knee slapper. (EmpireOnLine)
