Mark, sounds like great stuff, and please keep us informed. I had to laugh when you said you were avoiding the Nemo novel and gave your reasons. In high school, after Disney's 20,000 LEAGUES made its...

Somebody someday has to do a Verne spoof called FINDING CAPTAIN NEMO. I don't care if it's any good or not, it's just too good a title to waste. I just sent my own Verne pastiche sitcom off to a...

Quote:FINDING CAPTAIN NEMO You know, it's funny (strange) that two years ago, pitching our Nemo idea to some Florida backers, FINDING NEMO became part of the pitch, in that, although Verne and Captain...

Could it have turned into the Nautilus used in the egregious League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? ... Reed

I really enjoyed the comic mini-series that lead to the LEAGUE, but felt the film could have been a bit stronger. One weakness, I felt, was their Nautilus. It didn't look quite like it would have been...

The unreality we live in is soooo incestuous. Or does it have something to do with the prolific pen of Kevin J. Anderson? ... Reed

No, it certainly wasn't anything to do with the crappy CGI Nautilus that appeared in THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARILY BAD ACTING. It was a beautiful piece of gothic engineering. The Moore/O'Neill comics...
