Bill Marsilli (Deja Vu) and Justin Marks worked on earlier versions of the sceenplay for Disney's remake, which follows the adventures of a young Captain Nemo as he builds his submarine the Nautilus.
The action-adventure film is based on Jules Verne's classic 1870 book and may also take inspiration from its sequel The Mysterious Island.
Wallace will rewrite the 20,000 Leagues script before taking on his next directing job, the Diane Lane-fronted race horse drama Secretariat.
