Fincher's 20k Leagues to be Loosely Based on Novel

[Sunshine]

As some of you may already know, David Fincher (The Social Network) is directing yet another Disney reboot: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Scott Z. Burns, the film's writer, has recently stated that this new movie will actually only be loosely based on the original Jules Verne novel. It won't be a rigid, faithful adaptation. Burns says that hs job "isn’t to turn a book into a movie, [but] to be inspired by the book and then go write a movie."

Disney revamps are here to stay, it looks like.

I give this idea the raspberry.

The world already has the perfect version of 20,00 Leagues, my favourite live-action Disney movie ever (yes, even better than the Rocketeer).

You can only go downhill from there.

I love the original film, myself, so I share the same sentiments you do. We used to have a role-player in our midst who played Captain Nemo. Gosh, that was years ago!

I... have no opinion on this. I think I really need to see the original 20,000 Leagues.

[Duck Avenger]

That's a sound remedy!

Everyone on earth needs to see the original 20,000 Leagues.
