I remember two remakes of 20,000 Leagues done for television. One was a Hallmark production, and contrary to my usual expectations of quality from them, it absolutely stunk. I recall thinking that it looked as though it had been rushed through to compete with the other remake. I'm not sure if I saw the other, though I think I did. I believe it stunk, too.
The Disney original is a personal favorite, even with the liberties it took with the novel (and Kirk Douglas singing), but I would like to see a modern-day version that tacked a bit closer to the novel.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen had a Nemo of Indian nationality, but I'm not going down that film's path.
