Prime Video is turning my favorite Jules Verne novel into a TV show and the 
first trailer is enormously exciting

Description:
Nautilus, loosely based on Verne's beloved novel, looks like it's going to be 
an action-packed epic.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is one of the best SF stories ever 
told, a tale of fantastic ships and terrifying monsters that's delighted 
readers for more than a century. 

And now it looks like it'll be delighting Prime Video viewers too, because 
it's coming to the screen under the name Nautilus  the vessel Captain Nemo 
took on his epic adventures. 

The show stars Shazad Latif, Georgia Flood, Thierry Fremont and Cline 
Menville, with guest appearances from Richard E Grant, Anna Torv and Noah 
Taylor. And it tells a slightly different story from the novel  here's the 
first trailer. What to expect from Nautilus on Prime Video 

In the novel, the US government creates an expedition to find and destroy a 
mysterious and massive sea monster. The story is told from the perspective of 
marine biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax, who joins the expedition at the 
last minute only to be shipwrecked by the monster and saved by the Nautilus. 
Adventures ensure. 

The Prime Video show takes a slightly different tack. This is an origin story 
for Captain Nemo, in which he is robbed of his birthright and forced to help 
build an experimental submarine  a submarine he then steals in order to enact 
his revenge. It's a "reimagining" of the original, and this time the big 
monster appears to be the East India Company. 

It's a fascinating idea but the UK-based production has had a few issues; the 
show was originally commissioned by Disney Plus but dropped as part of its 
cost-cutting, even though it had already been filmed. Hopefully that's more 
of a reflection of Disney's accountants rather than on the show itself, 
because the trailer looks like it'll be rather entertaining. 

Nautilus will be streaming on Prime Video from the 25th of October 2024.
