Sam Worthington som Kaptajn Nemo?

McG har planer for skuespilleren.

Instruktøren McG (Terminator Salvation) arbejder i øjeblikket på "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", der skal fortælle historien om Kaptajn Nemo, imens han konstruerer sit krigsskib, Nautilus.

McG afslørede for noget tid siden, at han - på trods af ihærdige rygter - ikke har i sinde at hyre Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson i hovedrollen, men derimod håbede på Will Smith.

"I'm trying to get Will Smith to do it, been trying to get a hold of him," fortalte instruktøren i januar. "I've been wanting to work with him for a long time already. That guy's great."

Nu lader det til, at den plan ikke gik helt som planlagt, da McG allerede har fjernet sit fokus fra Smith og i stedet kigger imod Sam Worthington.

"I take a lot of satisfaction in playing a role in breaking the great Sam Worthington, who I think is one of the best actors out there," fortæller han. "Look out for Clash of the Titans because Clash is going to be really good – I've seen some of that. Now he's doing The Tourist with Charlize [Theron]. He's all over the place, and I might cast him as Nemo if it's in the cards. We'll see."
