== Development ==
According to reliable sources like Disinsider or Distractify, Rick explained that he and his wife Becky would be producing the film through their production company, Mythomagic, but there would be a co-screenwriter involved to help tell the story.
As of Oct. 24, 2021, Rick wrote on his blog that he officially met his co-writer in person and announced their name to the public for the first time. Rick's co-writer is playwright and screenwriter Aditi Brennan Kapil. Rick promised that the last of the rights contracts were being finalized, and once that was finished, he would have more information for fans.
In the same blog post, Rick wrote about production on the upcoming Percy Jackson television show, which is estimated to begin filming in June 2023 in Vancouver. With such a large-scale project on his hands, this could mean that the Daughter of the Deep film wouldn't begin until Percy Jackson is finished shooting in late 2023 or early 2024.
In May 2024, Rick revealed that the movie was cancelled due to budgetary reasons.
== Synopsis ==
Ana Dakkar is a freshman student at the Harding-Pencroft Academy, a five-year high school that graduates the best marine scientists, naval warriors, navigators, and underwater explorers in the world. Ana's parents died on a scientific expedition two years ago, and her only remaining family member is her older brother, Dev, who also attends the Academy. At the end of her freshman year, Ana and her classmates will be sent on a top-secret weekend trial at sea. However, on the bus ride to the trip, Ana and her schoolmates witness a tragedy that changes their trip (and their lives) forever. A professor informs the class that they've been at war with a rival school for the past 150 years. Will Ana succeed on her mission? And what about her connection to the mysterious Captain Nemo?
