Johnson tops Disney's 'Tomorrowland'

Dwayne Johnson will head the cast of Disney's action adventure film Tomorrowland, according to Variety.

Like the studio's Pirates Of The Caribbean series, the movie will be based on Disney's theme park attractions. The futuristic Tomorrowland section of the Magic Kingdom resort includes the Space Mountain ride.

Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will write the script, with Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray - producers of Johnson's The Game Plan - steering the space-set blockbuster.

Johnson will next appear in Race To Witch Mountain, a remake of Disney's 1975 movie Escape To Witch Mountain.

Blue Sky Disney posted about this today ... They say that Variety claims the film is based on the Disney themed land ... but the Mouse is claiming it isn't ... That the film is an original project ...

Hmm.. I read on Animated-News that the movie is based on Tomorrow Land, but it won't be called "Tomorrowland" or anything pertaining to that.

Why does Disney think that having The Rock in movies will make it sell?

Why does Disney think that having The Rock in movies will make it sell?

For that matter, why does any studio put The Rock in anything?

That does not sound good but who knows how it will turn out. I just hope it does not seem out dated quick like so many other Sci-fi films and such.

Sidenote: I wanna see that gosh darn Jungle Cruise picture soon.

According to the writers of "The Hangover," Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, they are actually working on a "Tomorrowland" film. I had heard rumblings like I said, but hmmm... I guess it's actually in development for Dwayne Johnson. Here's what they have to say:


"In Tomorrowland his character's name is Rip. And he plays a present day test pilot who tests a plane and gets shot into the future, and so he's a sort of a fish out of water in the future and he is sort of figuring out how everything works. And the people in the future don't know who he is, and they think he's bad guy come to destroy the future."

Why does Disney cripple their film with a not-so-funny/not-so-much-action star?

Because sometimes, you need to keep a former wrestler from a life of unemployment and subsequently manic depression.

darnit Disney, the Rock? Ugh.

I LOVE tomorrowland, its one of my favorite places ever. I love the retro future idea so much. Thats what I'd hope they keep. Like in Meet the Robinsons or Futurama, if you make it as zany and retro as possible it can stay fresh longer.

And there had better be some reference to Mr. Tom Morrow. He has become one of my major greetings to my best friends now xD.
"Paging mr Morrow, mr Tom Morrow, your party has arrived from Saturn."

I just hope the film has the Robotic Mayor of Tomorrowland Tom Morrow.
I think he would really make such a film worth going to.

Brad Bird has been set to direct 1952, a script that Disney paid former Lost producer Damon Lindelof last year to write. The film, which Lindelof is writing with Jeff Jensen, is a closely guarded secret at Disney, but it’s a big scale tent pole film. I’m not sure if it’s a reference to the year, or a Lost reference. But it has multi-platform aspirations, and the studio hopes it will be the next film directed by Bird, who made the leap from animation to live action feature directing with the blockbuster Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol. The intention is to get the film into production next year, after a long prep, with Lindelof producing. Bird has been developing his own projects, including 1906.

The Lindelof deal was made last June and came out of a series of meetings that Lindelof had with Disney’s production president Sean Bailey and senior exec Brigham Taylor, and it’s the first film that Lindelof is producing from the ground up.

Sounds good to me!

It was rumored late last year that George Clooney was in talks to headline Brad Bird's mysterious Walt Disney Pictures sci-fi project, known only as 1952. Today, the studio has confirmed that Clooney is set to star and they've revealed the official title: Tomorrowland!

Tomorrowland?


NOW this is getting interesting. I was wondering where this film would tie in to existing Disney properties, because let's face it, that's ALL Disney's films are nowadays: merchandise tie-ins.

Before I start sounding negative let me say I'm VERY excited about this. Sci-fi-noir I'm guessing. The visuals have explosively beautiful potential and I trust in Brad Bird.

Clooney? Cant stand him. Why couldn't they have gone with someone not so overused?

I disagree. Clooney traditionally stars in low-key dramas. The Ocean's franchise and his years on ER could be considered the only projects with widespread appeal. Most other films he's starred in were Oscar-bait melodramas. So I don't seen he's overused when he only stars in smaller projects that he often times produces himself.

A sci-fi Disney tentpole feature is new ground for Clooney and his place in Hollywood.

Tomorrowland?

I wonder if this is the same film Disney was developing around 2008 also called Tomorowland.
