- Coming Soon???
It has been reported by those wonderful movie geeks over at latinoreview that a new adaptation of one of my all-time favorite books will soon be hitting the screen…again. This time around the new director of the latest Terminator movie yet to be released is said to be behind the wheel. The simply named McG is supposedly wanting to re-vamp the classic with a totally different twist. Not only does he want Captain Nemo to be more of a villain in this this remake-adaptation but he would like Will Smith to star.
I am a huge Will Smith fan but I have to say that whole idea is a bit of a stretch for me. However, I was skeptical when I heard he was going to be starring in I am Legend and was happily surprised by his performance there (although the movie itself still was overall a disappointment). I will be anxious to see where this goes because the book was probably one of the first novels to really make me love literature. I read the whole thing in a couple of days when I was younger and have yet to see an adaptation that I really thought did it justice.
