the adaptation to the cinema of the famous novel of Jules Verne. 
Aronnax and Conseil are collected on its board by Captain Nemo (interpreted by James Mason), a strange man, a recluse, corroded by his hatred for the terrestrial world. Starting then, the shipwrecked men, now captives of Nautilus, begin a long exploration of the underwater world and its wonders, as well as the discovery of the secret island base of Nemo, Vulcania.
the film was entitled to many posters, whose majority are difficult to date, so much those of arisen resemble it. The four posters posted above, according to research, seem to correspond to the exit of 1954. 
big event of film and the book to keep suspense, or quite simply because they did
not think that the scene would have such an impact on the spectators. 
Contrary to others posters of the time, simpler, one can notice that the publicity of 20.000 Miles under the Seas is rather charged in text. Several things were indeed noted, in order to sell film. First of all, the name of Walt Disney, it goes from there from oneself! But also the name of the prestigious interpreters of the various roles of film: Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Paul Lukas and Peter Lorre, who are already, at the time, of immense high-speed motorboats, and whose portraits appear on one of the documents. Lastly, appears clearly the name of Jules Verne, registered in an opened book, thus showing the fame of the author on the other side of
the Atlantic. As for the slogan, it has the merit to be clear. The film is indeed sold as being largest of all (The Mightiest off them all)!

Disney has put "Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" in dry dock.
The picture, tentatively scheduled to begin production in February, has been halted indefinitely, and McG is no longer steering the ship.
The studio confirmed that the studio won't proceed with the film for now, and reps for the director confirmed he has withdrawn. McG will concentrate on other projects that include "Dead Spy Running," a Warner Bros. drama that Stephen Gaghan is writing. McG is also attached to "Terminator 5," though that movie is on hold indefinitely as the Terminator franchise works its way through bankruptcy court. McG just teamed with "Borat" helmer Larry Charles on a new NBC comedy.
McG, who last directed "Terminator Salvation," had been attached to "Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" since last January. The Bill Marsilli-scripted pic is an origin story about how Nemo constructed his warship, the Nautilus. The studio made the original 1954 "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," as Disney's first live action film. It won three Oscars and inspired a Disney theme park ride.
While names like Will Smith were rumored as possible stars, no cast was ever set. The project had been on a fast track under the Dick Cook regime. Studio sez event pics like "20,000 Leagues," "John Carter of Mars" and "Tron" are still priority under new chief Rich Ross.
Disney's next big water-based shoot will likely be the fourth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean." Pic is expected to set sail in May, with Rob Marshall in talks to direct.
