Reportedly McG is pursuing Will Smith to play Captain Nemo in a remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The director, currently out promoting�Terminator: Salvation�to journalists, told�Latino Review�after Monday’s screening in New York that he’s promoting Smith’s name to play the lead character, Nemo.“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 mean yeah–�everyone‘s probably been waiting to work with Will Smith forever. And apparently McG has a real challenge for him, depicting Nemo as more of an obsessed villain than a hero.“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.�

I always loved the original Disney film and a remake sounds interesting, but I wouldn’t choose McG to direct.�
