Today’s #Throwback lot is Captain Nemo’s (Naseeruddin Shah) Nautilus Car from The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), which went up for auction in our 2015 Live Auction.
Captain Nemo’s hero Nautilus car from Stephen Norrington’s fantasy adventure was used throughout the film as the League hunted down Moriarty (Richard Roxburgh) and was also featured extensively on the film’s posters. The massive car was also one of only two custom made especially for the production. This particular vehicle was the complete running version and was designed by production designer Carol Spier. The other unit was designed for insert shots and featured an attached scaffold for filming close-ups of the actors.
What could be more soothing at bedtime than a herd of literary gentlemen to read you a story? Particularly if you live in a nice crypt, the lightless depths, or in Victorian London. ^_^ If you want to get your blood-stained little hands on them, they’re lurking here
