The Nautilus was used during the investigation of The Doctor since the docks were closer to Limehouse (as it was the location of The Doctor's activities) than the British Museum. Although Nemo despised the British, he agreed to lend his services to the crown and the Nautilus became a de facto base of operations for the League. In June of 1898, Nemo responded to a request by British Secret Service to become part of a "menagerie" of special agents acting in defense of the British Empire. The Nautilus in the first and second volume of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the second model of the Nautilus. The vessel was caught in a maelstrom off the coast of Norway after it had sunk another British warship.


This would inevitably earn Nemo the reputation as being a fanatic and scourge to the British Empire. The first Nautilus was used for decades by Nemo to sink British vessels. The shape of this version of the Nautilus is compared to the shape of a narwhal. The original model of the Nautilus is a black submarine with a three pronged spike at it's front.

DVD features: movie (110min) full-frame version Assembling the League documentary, including Origins, Attire, The Nemomobile, Making Mr Hyde, Resurrecting Venice and Sinking Venice commentaries with producers Don Murphy, Trevor Albert, stars Shane West, Jason Flemyng and Tony Curran, and with costume designer Jacqueline West, visual effects supervisor John E. Death in Venice? Lagoony tunes, more like. Mostly, it's a big, brainless action-flick with lots of shock'n'awe scenes and a story that doesn't hang together. Connery dips into his back catalogue and mixes up James Bond and Indiana Jones to produce Quatermain, but many of the other characters look a little out of their depth. There's great action, the sort that you went to sleep dreaming about if you read the books under the covers when you were around 12: flying cars, exploding submarines, crumbling cities, the female vampire turning into a flock of bats (hang on, don't remember that bit from way back when). Anything or anywhere that gets in his way, in fact, and only the extraordinary gentlemen (and one who is no lady) can stop him. Oh, and the snowcapped mountains of Mongolia, for good measure. Their foe will be the Fantom, a megalomaniac who wants to sabotage a meeting of world leaders in Venice by blowing up the city of canals. As Ricky Gervais so helpfully pointed out last week, England was running the world at the time, but an American audience demands its market share, so we have Twain's slightly older than fictional Tom Sawyer (Shane West). Wells' invisible man, Rodney Skinner (Tony Curran), Bram Stoker's vampire, Mina Harker (Peta Wilson), Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde (Jason Flemyng). There is Haggard's adventurer, Alan Quatermain (Sean Connery, pictured) Verne's Captain Nemo (Naseeruddin Shah) of the pioneering submarine, the Nautilus Oscar Wilde's corrupt, ageless Dorian Gray (Stuart Townsend) H.G. Here, it is 1899 and the head of British intelligence, drily called "M" (Richard Roxburgh), assembles a team of Boy's Own heroes to be known as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The first Moore novel filmed was From Hell, the high-camp unravelling of Jack the Ripper's exploits, starring Johnny Depp. That reckons without the cult of the graphic novel, in which writers such as Alan Moore plundered classic characters from out-of-copyright literature and rewrote them into new adventures. Game Boys and PlayStations meant that our sons' and nephews' mates were more likely to identify with Super Mario and crew. By EWAN MCDONALD (Herald rating: * * *) Jules Verne, Mark Twain and Rider Haggard were, for thousands of a previous generation, best friends in boyhood.
