After X-Men: Apocalypse, director
Bryan Singer takes a dive deep into the ocean with the somewhat loose adaptation
of Jules Verne's iconic sci-fi novel, 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, which will hopefully
please Verne purists but also add something new and unexpected to the well
known story.
To that end, screenwriters Rick
Sordelet ("Dan in Real Life" - stunt coordinator) and Dan Studney ("Jack
the Giant Slayer") have come up with a mixture of original and new
characters, as well as sci-fi plot twists that will "culminate in a
timeless adventure for all ages." Furthermore, Singer's take on the
material will be keeping to the original time-period in Verne's novel, which
takes place in 1866.
"It’s the same reason I’m setting 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea right
after the Civil War," Singer told Empire while speaking about the latest
trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse. "Everything wasn’t suddenly hunky-dory
between the North and the South – there was still hostility and tension. The
same thing exists here."
20.000 Leagues Under the Sea will
begin production this fall for a 2017 release.
