Will Smith To Go 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ?

Last Week it was announced that McG (Charlies Angels & Forthcoming Terminator Salvation) was set to direct  '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo', a remake of the Disney classic that starred Kirk Douglas and James Mason which was adapted from Jules Verne's novel of the same name.

This week McG has been out and about promoting Terminator Salvation and told Latino Review that he is eyeing none other than Big Will Smith to play Captain Nemo.

"The character Nemo in this film is more about obsession, he is obsessed and people tend to forget that when you become so obsessed you end up being the villain," ..... "Man I'm trying to get Will Smith to do it, been trying to get a hold of him. I've been wanting to work with him for a long time already. That guy's great."

I am sure Disney wont object to this casting idea, bringing on board the current biggest box office draw in the world is always a good business move, and after the misstep of 'Seven Pounds' Smith may just be looking for the kind of summer blockbuster hit that 20,000 Leagues can provide.
