It can be safely assumed (I hope) that David Fincher won’t ask Brad Pitt to pick up a guitar and sing in a possible Disney-produced remake of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea…please. Variety‘s Jeff Sneider is reporting that Disney is homing in on Fincher “as it decides whether to move forward with the project, which Se7en scribe Andrew Kevin Walker rewrote in November 2011.” Pic “has not yet received a greenlight,” but Fincher allegedly wants Pitt to play the brawny and rambunctious Ned Land, the Kirk Douglas role in the 1954 original.
