New Line has snapped up Craig Titley's pitch for an updated version of Jule Verne's novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and set it up with Sam Raimi and Josh Donen through their Buckaroo production company, says Variety.

The deal doesn't include a directing component for the "Spider-Man" franchise helmer. New Line is developing the project as a film that would look more closely into the background of Captain Nemo as well as that of his prisoners aboard the Nautilus.

Disney's original 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, released in 1954, starred James Mason, Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre in the story of a 19th century expedition to find a mysterious sea creature that's been attacking ships.

Disneys 20000 Meilen unter dem Meer mit Kirk Douglas fand ich super, ein Remake kann mir jedoch gestohlen bleiben, auch wenns Sam Raimi inszeniert rolleyes
