Randall Wallace to Rewrite Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

7 July 2009 7:35 PM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

Randall Wallace has been set to rewrite Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, director McG's vision of the classic Jules Verne adventure for Disney.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea aims to tell the origin of Captain Nemo and his submarine warship, the Nautilus. Nemo is a mysterious but noble antagonist in the book, a scientific genius with a thirst for knowledge and a desire for revenge against the forces of imperialism.

The script previously was worked by Bill Marsilii and Justin Marks.

Wallace is squeezing in the "Nemo" writing gig before he directs "Secretariat," starring Diane Lane, for Disney. The racehorse drama is set to begin shooting in late September. Wallace, whose writing credits range from "Braveheart" to "Atlas Shrugged," is repped by Wme.

Disney and Diane Lane Jump on 'Secretariat'

11 June 2009 5:12 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Diane Lane's grabbing the reins in Disney's new film Secretariat. Lane will be starring as Penny Chenery, a housewife who takes over her father's thoroughbreeding farm after he falls ill. She learns the ropes fast, and her horse Secretariat goes on to win the 1973 Triple Crown. Secretariat will focus on her relationship with the prize-winning horse, which is a nice change from movies focusing on relationships between, say, Lane and Richard Gere as in 2008's weepy Nights in Rodanthe.

Randall Wallace, who wrote the screenplays for Atlas Shrugged, We Were Soldiers, Pearl Harbor, and Braveheart, is directing; he also directed We Were Soldiers and The Man in the Iron Mask. Mike Rich is behind the script; he also penned similarly inspirational flicks The Nativity Story, The Rookie, and Finding Forrester.

Secretariat sounds a little bit Seabiscuit-y and a little bit you-go-girl, with a distinct possibility for sappiness. Is Disney

Variety reports that Diane Lane will star in Secretariat, Disney's upcoming movie about the relationship between the Triple Crown-winning race horse and his owner, Penny Chenery.

Reportedly, it will focus on Chenery's life, from her humble beginnings in Virginia to her rise as the "first lady of racing." Randall Wallace -- who wrote Braveheart and is working on the upcoming adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged -- is directing from a script by Mike Rich (Finding Forrester, The Rookie).

The movie is scheduled for release sometime next year.

Will Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' Finally See the Big Screen? And Who Will Star?

1 April 2009 1:59 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Steven Zeitchik at the Risky Biz Blog is reporting the long gestating film adaptation of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" is taking new steps toward the big screen. Zeitchick says Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media is circling the Baldwin Entertainment project and could come aboard to finance with Lionsgate, which got involved several years ago. Angelina Jolie has been at the center of the chatter for about three years now as she was first attached to the role back in September of 2007 when Randall Wallace (Braveheart) was enlisted to adapt the 1,100 page 1957 novel for the screen. Now, Zeitchik says the list of potential actresses has grown to include Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway. At one point Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog) was aboard to direct. The role the ladies would be vying for is that of Dagny Taggart. The story follows Taggart's struggles to manage a
