From directing Marvel's "X-Men" films, Bryan Singer is set to helm a new adventure drama film.
Singer has shared a new photo on his official Instagram account as he celebrates his 50th birthday. The photo shows a script for his next film, entitled "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea." According to the "X-Men" director, he wanted to retell the story since he was a child and he promised that his take on the film will be "epic and emotional" for all members of the family.
While he revealed in his photo comment that the story reflects an adventure that is "very dear" to his heart, Singer added that he was not going to mistreat the "X-Men" universe. In fact, the director was very excited for his upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse." Overall, his photo got almost 7,000 likes.
Singer has worked with 20th Century Fox for a number of "X-Men" film collection, thus, it is assumed that he will be working with the studio for his forthcoming "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea," as per Screen Rant.
The adventure dram film "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" centers on a ship sent to scrutinize the unexplainable consecutive cases of sinkings. The said ship later on encounters the Nautilus, an advanced submarine led by Captain Nemo.
A version of the story had a cinematic adaptation in 1954, which Richard Fleischer as director. It starred notable actors like Kirk Douglas, Jason Mason, and Paul Lukas, among others. According to Coming Soon, Fleischer's "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" was arguably the best film adaptation to date, due to its art direction, set decoration, and special effects.
Since Singer's ""20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" is still in its early phase of development, exact details on the plot, characters, and casting are yet to be revealed.
Meanwhile, Singer's "X-Men: Apocalypse" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on May 27, 2016.
