if you take a look at jim hill's recent article http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/ ... movie.aspx, you'll read that disney has bought domain names for a big thunder mountain film website.

while domain names are nothing official, it's certainly a hopeful that there'll be a BTM film. it sounds like they want jerry bruckheimer on the project, what do you think of that?

now, a jungle cruise film has been in the works since.. 2004? which do you think will come first? which do you think will be better? which do you anticipate most? jungle cruise big thunder mountain?

EDIT: there is supposed to be an option of neither but, it isn't showing up. so, assume there is that option.

Big Thunder Mountain-
BUT, only if they use Disneyland Paris' "Thunder Mesa" town storyline, which incorperates phantom manor, and all the rest of frontierland

If they make Thunder Mountain into a movie, it better include a Temple of Doom style mine buggy segment.

I personally voted "neither", at least for the next five to ten years. If every single Disneyland attraction is adapted into a film, then the novelty will be gone, and any possibility of the novelty reoccurring in the near future is shattered, since they'd "all be done".

I'd be more psyched about a Jungle Cruise film. Only thing is (and I didn't read the article posted above yet), last I heard it was planned to be this epic adventure type movie, while I feel (considering the style of the Jungle Cruise, with all the jokes and stuff) it should be a comedy adventure. I'm sure that a lot of people don't like that idea because they didn't like Haunted Mansion, but I rather enjoyed Haunted Mansion. Not everything has to be a mega-epic a la Pirates of the Caribbean or Narnia. As long as it's not like Country Bears (which could have been great if they'd stuck to the show more, and possibly even did it in traditional animation).

Well.... if they make a "big thunder mountain" film... there's no way it's getting a G rating. People will have to die in that film too!

I'd much rather see a movie based on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. It can be a jukebox musical like "Across the Universe" using the songs of Aerosmith to tell the story of a boy and a girl who go on a roller coaster. It will be directed by Julia Taymor and be over six hours long.

Alternatively, I'd also like to see a movie based on the Hall of Presidents or the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

And then Disney will secretly recut it to less than two hours without Taymor's approval, and screen that to preview audiences. Taymor will then get mad at Disney, and there will be a publicized argument between them before a compromise is reached.

I voted for both, though like Wondy said, I wouldn't want it in the near future. We don't want to dilute the Disney-attractions-as-movies franchise.

But I'd also rather see them turn the extinct "Alien Encounter" into a horror movie a la Alien...except sanitized for a PG-friendly Disney film.


Scaps

I think both would make really good movies! But I would only want one or the other, because yeah, thats kinda like ride adaptation over kill.

Space Mountain would make a cool movie too.

Like it or not The Jungle Cruise will be released in the next year or so. I think it will be interesting, especially if they keep most of the corny jokes from the ride.

Big Thunder Mountain has been talked about as a movie before, but I hope it will stick to the attraction's story line.
