Disney has chosen a director for its upcoming “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo” project. According to Variety, “Terminator: Salvation” director McG will sit in the director’s chair for the fast-tracked project.

“Nemo” will be an origin story for the famous Captain Nemo, first introduced in the Jules Verne novel, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” The script for the project comes from Bill Marsilli. The film will use characters from the original novel and the popular 1954 Disney adaptation.

Disney has put the movie on the fast track and expects to begin shooting on “Nemo” later this year.
