20,000 Leagues Under The Sea To Be In 3D!
31 December 2010 9:31 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Collider did an awesome interview with David Fincher recently and they discussed his numerous films in the works, including 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Fincher revealed that this film will mark his first project to be show in 3D.
When asked about the film being in 3D Fincher reponsded, “Yeah. 20,000 Leagues will be 3D,” He went on to say that he thinks 3D is “cool…when it’s done right.”
The screenplay for Leagues is from Scott Z. Burns who wrote The Bourne Ultimatum, The Informant and Contagion. As of now the film is not officially Fincher's next film according to the director who stated, “I think that there’s a lot of movies that could be my next film.”
Fincher also confirmed a slew of other films he has on his slate to direct such as Rendezvous With Rama, Heavy Metal, The Killer and The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud. »

From 'Social Network' to '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' David Fincher Confirmed to Direct
16 December 2010 8:51 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
In May, Disney confirmed that Jule's Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea has been placed on hold due to the director McG, moving off of the project. Since that time, Disney has always been interested in David Fincher helming the project, but he has resisted until today.
Jon Favreau confirms that Fincher is officially on board to direct 20,000 Leagues and signed off on a script by Scott Burns who also wrote Bourne Ultimatum. The project will be a massive undertaking for Disney who is ready to spend over $150 million to make it one of the most visually impressive films Disney has ever released. »

David Fincher Confirmed for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
15 December 2010 7:48 PM, PST | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Back in May, Disney revealed that it will not proceed with the dark version of Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under Sea" that director McG (Terminator Salvation) was working on. But then David Fincher (The Social Network, Fight Club) showed interest in the project, forcing the studio take another look at it. Now in an interview with Jon Favreau, the helmer not only confirmed that he will direct "Magic Kingdom" instead of "Iron Man 3," but added that Fincher is officially on board to direct "20,000 Leagues" from a script by Scott Burns (Bourne Ultimatum). If the plan doesn't change, the project will have a budget of around $150 million and will serve as an origin story for Captain Nemo. Fincher's take is described as being in the vein of "Star Wars" or "The Empire Strikes Back." It will aim to be visually dazzling. »
David Fincher On Board For ’20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’
15 December 2010 10:41 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Turns out Jon Favreau is bringing us news this entire week. After announcing yesterday that he’s leaving Iron Man behind and moving on to Magic Kingdom, he also told the La Times (via /Film) that David Fincher is indeed directing 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for Disney.
He was rumored for the past few years to be doing another adaptation of the classic Jules Verne novel of the same name, and this will likely be his follow-up to the currently-shooting Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; while other projects are lined up, they’ve been “in development” for quite some time, as long as a few years. All that apparently needs to happen next is for Scott Z. Burns’ script to be finished and deemed ready to shoot, and then production will begin.
Not much else to say except that like most people, I’m a huge fan of most of the man’s work, »

David Fincher Confirmed for ’20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’
15 December 2010 8:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Back in May, we wrote [1] that Disney had approached David Fincher to direct an remake of the classic 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. At the time they were still in "negotiations." Well, according to the Los Angeles Times [2], Disney has now confirmed that David Fincher is "working on" 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Actually, Fincher is currently "working on" Sony's remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo but once that film is done (it'll be released next Christmas) and the screenplay by Scott Z. Burns is up to par, it seems like this could be next on the award-winning director's [3]dance card. What do you think a David Fincher 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea will look like?

Future Films From Steven Soderbergh & Michael Hoffman
19 November 2010 10:32 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Director Doug Liman (Go, Swingers,) seems to be turning down every job he is offered these days. Only two days ago it was reported that Steven Soderbergh would be tackling The Man From U.N.C.L.E., a project that Liman eventually passed on. U.N.C.L.E. is an adaptation of the American spy double-act TV show of the sixties starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, a project they’ve been trying to make for quite some time. Interested parties have included Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass), Quentin Tarantino (Four Rooms, Reservoir Dogs) and David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers).
As reported yesterday, the film is looking to be scripted by Scott Z. Burns, the writer behind Soderbergh’s The Informant and the upcoming Contagion. Soderbergh is currently set to shoot his Liberace biopic in the summer or early fall of 2011, around the same time he’s hoping to get U.N.C.L.E. »

Clooney to Play ‘U.N.C.L.E.’ for Soderbergh?
18 November 2010 11:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Steven Soderbergh bids goodbye to another well-deserved break (he’s made 17 features in the last decade!), with reports coming through that he may be teaming up with his old producing partner and frequent collaborator George Clooney for an adaptation of the 1960’s spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Scott Z. Burns (the writer behind Soderbergh’s The Informant and his upcoming all-star, deadly virus action feature Contagion) has been mentioned as a possible scriptwriter for this project. For those who are unfamiliar with the original material, the TV series followed the exploits of two secret agents, (Robert Vaughn and David McCallum), who worked for a fictitious secret international law-enforcement agency called U.N.C.L.E. (the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement).
Soderbergh has a real affinity for the era in which ‘U.N.C.L.E’ was produced and having previously teamed up with Clooney to remake »

George Clooney has apparently entered early discussions to re-team with his frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." adaptation reports The Playlist.
Word came out Tuesday that Soderbergh had replaced David Dobkin in the director's chair of this film adaptation of classic 60's NBC TV series, with the auteur's current writing collaborator Scott Z. Burns ("The Informant," "Contagion") chucking out the previous scripts and starting over from scratch. The new draft will keep the 60's setting of the original TV series.
