McG to helm Disney's 'Nemo' (VAR)
By Nancy Tartaglione-Vialatte
McG will direct Disney�s �20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo� and, according to Variety sources, will be paid $8 million against 7% of the gross for the gig. The family film is being fast-tracked by the studio with hopes to make it this year. Sean Bailey is producing with McG's Wonderland Sound and Vision.
Bill Marsilli wrote the script for �Nemo� which outlines the captain�s origins as he creates his warship, the Nautilus.
The 1954 original "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was the first live-action film made by Walt Disney and became the second-highest grossing film that year and won three Oscars.
The director is coming off "Terminator: Salvation" and had multiple studios vying for his next slot.
