Based on Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, this action series will tell the origin story of Captain Nemo.
NAUTILUS (2024) is an upcoming reimagining of Jules Verne’s classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, bringing a fresh and thrilling take on the iconic tale of adventure, exploration, and mystery. The film delves deep into the world of Captain Nemo and his incredible submarine, the Nautilus, exploring not just the depths of the ocean but also the complex man who commands the vessel.
The story follows Professor Pierre Aronnax, a marine biologist, and his companions, harpooner Ned Land and loyal assistant Conseil, who are captured by the enigmatic Captain Nemo after being sent to investigate a series of mysterious shipwrecks caused by what many believe to be a sea monster. Instead, they discover the Nautilus, a technologically advanced submarine far beyond anything they’ve ever seen, helmed by the brilliant but tormented Captain Nemo.
The trailer teases a visually stunning journey through the ocean’s unexplored wonders, from glowing coral reefs and vast underwater caverns to dangerous sea creatures like giant squids. The Nautilus itself is depicted as a sleek, almost mythical machine, powered by Nemo’s genius and driven by his desire to escape the tyranny of the surface world. As Aronnax, Ned, and Conseil are taken on a voyage beneath the waves, they begin to see Nemo’s vision for a world free from the corruption of nations, but they also witness his growing obsession with vengeance against those who have wronged him.
As tensions rise between Nemo and his unwilling passengers, NAUTILUS explores themes of freedom, isolation, and the moral dilemmas of technological power. The film blends action and adventure with a deeper exploration of Nemo’s tragic past, revealing how his experiences shaped him into both a visionary and a man at war with humanity.
Packed with breathtaking visuals, intense underwater action, and a complex protagonist in Captain Nemo, NAUTILUS (2024) brings Verne’s timeless tale to a new generation, promising a captivating adventure that blends science fiction with deep emotional and philosophical undertones.
