Ned Land (played by Kirk Douglas) now will be played by Shia Leboeuf

Professor Pierre Aronnax (played by Paul Lukas) now will be played by Christian Bale, we kind have average looking characters in 21st century Hollywood.

Conseil (played by Peter Lorre) now played by Megan Fox, we need sex and a love interest for Shia, what the hell was Jules Verne thinking not having a beautiful girl in his story, must be the worst writer in history.

For the story, aliens crashed landed somewhere and Samuel Jackson as the scientific genius Nemo (why is that so hard to believe?) will be able to built a submarine with stealth technology and that can also transform into a huge flying ship. The story will take place in the near future, again what the heck was Jules Verne thinking, setting this up in the 1870's, guy was nuts or what? There will be a budget of 600 Millions for explosion and we have to setup a huge final battle where the aliens are back on Earth and want to conquer it but Nemo, now seeing how wrong he was will safe the world with his lone submarine/airship againt 400 millions aliens ships.

Blockbuster galore, see Verne knew nothing, we know how to make a cool movie.

Did McG hire Michael Bay to co-direct?
