Not In The Same League

McG has denied online chatter‎ of tough guy Dwayne Johnson being cast in the lead for his version of "20000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo".

He tells Sci-Fi Wire that "I’ve never spoken to Dwayne Johnson about this. I like him. He’s great. He’s a wonderful human being and an excellent screen presence, but we have not spoken about 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Not a word."

He's is still courting Will Smith for the Nemo role, which was originally played by James Mason in 1954.

Shooting on 'Nemo' gets underway later this year in Queensland, Australia.



The Rock would be OK I suppose--But I think Smith is the better pick...
