In January we warned you about the sexy sword-playing script that was getting tossed around for the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea prequel. The script sounded epically hokey, at best. We even asked McG what was the deal with this over-the-top screenplay, and he assured us it was nothing like that.

In any case, The Hollywood Reporter says that the big script is now undergoing a hefty rewrite from Braveheart scribe Randall Wallace. Let's hope they get it right this time.

But with all the hub-bub around the disastrous Terminator 4, will Will Smith still be game to sign as baby Nemo? And isn't he getting a little old to play these youngsters? Although granted, Captain Nemo wasn't super young in Jules Verne's novels. Plus, isn't Captain Nemo usually depicted as either a Hindu or a Sikh?

The Fall unites an unlikely band of steampunk-era heroes — The Indian, The Ex-Slave, The Explosives Expert, The Masked Bandit, and Charles Darwin — to fight a common enemy, Governor Odious. Director Tarsem is best known for his movie The Cell, which was gorgeous eye-candy with a story that dragged. He's also been attached to the remake of Westworld and Nautica, but was either replaced or left those projects. The Fall was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006, and has taken its sweet time to make its way around the world.

It looks to be equal parts Big Fish and Pan's Labyrinth as well as The League. That's a good start. Plus, Charles Darwin as a fictional science hero? We're there.
