Life is not looking good for Terminator Salvation director McG.
Disney has decided to indefinitely can the Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea project (surely to be a 3D CGI adventure-fest) and McG has stepped away from the film, which was slated to begin production in a little over two months from now. There has still been no big casting news for the film, which could have been a reason why Nemo has been canned.
Disney is looking for big tentpole films to fill the Pirates of the Caribbean vacuum with Prince of Persia, Tron Legacy and Nemo, but it’s likely that the only success they’ll achieve in that endeavor will be the inevitable fourth entry into the Pirates franchise, which Rob Marshall will direct in May.
Meanwhile, McG’s other project, Terminator 5, is also in limbo until the rights to the film are properly settled.
Is this all a blessing or a curse? Let us know in the comments!
