Disney is looking to make Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson the star of its next theme ride film Tomorrowland. We get the scoop from out friends at movieweb:
According to Variety, the studio has set scribes Jon Lucas and Scott Moore to draft an epic-sized action adventure set in space. The film is being designed as a vehicle for Johnson, who starred for the studio in family hit The Game Plan and most recently completed Race to Witch Mountain.
Disney denies the film has been titled “Tomorrowland” or is dedicated to the park’s section, a futuristic area of the Magic Kingdom that includes such attractions as Space Mountain. The studio called the nascent project an original script.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean ride was a successful money making adaptation for Disney, it appears they are hoping for more of the same in Tomorrowland.
I’ m not sure we can guess what the plot of the film will be at this point. I haven’t been on the ride – but if any of you have, please let us know what it’s like. I’m not sure that the ride itself will reveal much in way of story, but we may be able to get a sense of the film’ s flavor.
We will be sure to keep you updated of the film’s developments and will shoot you info about the story when we have a chance.
