Seaview not the Nautilus..sort of


There were pictures i think in starlog of what the Seaview was turned into for Nemo and after it was done Irwin Allen said it still looks too much like the seaview , so the altered Seaview was only used in close up shots of the Raven sub when the delta beam gun was rotated, i noticed this after looking at the pictures and then watching the movie version The Amazing Captain Nemo, just thought i'd spread this news for those who weren't aware of this , The Raven in long shots looks like it has Eagle engines and possibly the eagle front burried in the nose of the sub , the eagle from space 1999.

The remodeled Seaview was actually used in a pitch film for the series by Irwin Allen, it would be great to see it.

I'm gonna ask around about that.....seems to me the actual mini-series was so cheaply done that I can't see why Irwin would have to go through the trouble to even do a 'pitch film' to WB. But you never know....
