He’s producing rather than directing, but his next project is an “updated” 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

[“Leagues”] is something that has very rich characters, that can be realized in a very different way. I don’t think it’s screaming to be re-envisioned because of the special effects, but that naturally could be updated. There’s a lot of characters and interaction that could be realized to a greater degree in a remake. That’s what makes it so interesting to me.

Any remake that doesn’t feature Kirk Douglas singing is probably an improvement.
