Walker will be doing a rewrite on Fincher\u2019s <strong>20,000 Leagues Under The Sea<\/strong> project he has been developing at Disney over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The film is set to be a loose adaption of the classic Jules Verne novel which Fincher is set to film in 3D.<\/p>\n<p>Walker joins a pretty impressive list of writers who have already taken a crack at the project. Scott Z Burns was the most recent, following on the heels of Michael Chabon and Randall Wallace.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Walker\u2019s resume includes such films as <strong>8mm<\/strong>, <strong>Sleepy Hollow<\/strong> and <strong>The Wolfman<\/strong> as well as doing some uncredited script doctoring on <strong>Fight Club<\/strong> and <strong>Event Horizon<\/strong>, he certainly seems like an odd choice for Disney&#8217;s family friendly film. My thought is that we&#8217;ll wind up seeing something a bit more slyly subversive and edgy than Disney&#8217;s original film version of the novel from 1954. Not that I&#8217;m saying that that version starring Kirk Douglas and James Mason is bad. Far from it, it&#8217;s one of my favorite of Disney&#8217;s live action films. But I think it&#8217;s fare to say that what ever Fincher has in mind is going to be far different.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The writer is set to do a rewrite on director David Fincher&#8217;s Jules Verne adaption.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/11\/18\/andrew-kevin-walker-boards-20000-leagues-at-disney\/\" title=\"Andrew Kevin Walker Boards 20,000 LEAGUES At Disney\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[2774,4527,1304],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-20000-leagues-under-the-sea","8":"tag-andrew-kevin-walker","9":"tag-david-fincher"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17509\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17509"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=17509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
