David Fincher wasrumoredto be taking on a remake of 20,000 conference Under the Sea , but now he says he just could n’t do it . Which is a shame , because it sound like it would have been a whole insane trip .
In a recent interview that come to on a bunch of Fincher ’s projects , he tossed out this tidbit about the scrapped 20,000 league Under the Sea :
Dude , it was blinking coolheaded . It was saucy and brainsick entertaining , with the Nautilus gang fighting every kind of mammoth Ray Harryhausen thing . But it also had this rip current to it . We were doing Osama bin Nemo , a Middle Eastern prince from a loaded kin who has decided that white imperialism is malevolent and should be stand firm . The notion was to put youngster in a place where they ’d say , “ I accord with everything he wed . I take publication with his means — or his ends . ” I really wanted to do it , but in the last I did n’t have the venter lining for it . A lot of masses flourish at Hollywood studios because they ’re fear - based . I have a hard clip relating to that , because I feel our bountiful duty is to give the audience something they have n’t seen . For model , Gillian Flynn and I are doing Utopia [ about fans of a furor graphical novel ] for HBO , and that ’s all I ’m focusing on next twelvemonth .
That sounds like it could have been either altogether astonishing or a complete train wreck .
