Variety reports that Disney's remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, annoyingly titled 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo, "has been halted indefinitely." Furthermore, director McG (Terminator Salvation) has been removed from the project even if it is eventually made.

It's hard to see a version of 20,000 Leagues directed by McG (and potentially starring Will Smith) turning out well. Disney probably made the right decision putting this one on the shelf for a while and eventually starting anew with it. Or maybe they should just leave it on the shelf.
