Without Star Wars Episode VII and a Comic Con retread of the Marvel slate, the fan excitement level at D23 was dependent on what was revealed about BRAD BIRD's next film TOMORROWLAND. Director Bird and writer/lightening rod DAMON LINDELOF literally had a mystery box at D23 where they give hints of what the film might be about. But if you're more a fan of the direct approach, Disney put out a press release today featuring a compelling, though brief, plot description.
Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor jaded by disillusionment embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory as "Tomorrowland."
Drew McWeeney from Hitfix got into a bit of hot water because he published a that, as it turns out, was rather accurate. It looks likely that BRITT ROBERTSON is playing the "bright, optimistic teen," and GEORGE CLOONEY is the "former boy genius."
The press release also included detailed information about the producing team, the cast, and the production crew:
Principal photography has begun on Disney's mystery adventure "Tomorrowland," starring two-time Academy Award winner George Clooney ("Michael Clayton," "Syriana"), Hugh Laurie ("Monsters vs. Aliens," "Arthur Christmas"), Britt Robertson ("Under The Dome"), Raffey Cassidy ("Dark Shadows," "Snow White and the Huntsman") and Thomas Robinson ("The Switch"). The film is directed, produced and co-written by two-time Oscar winner Brad Bird ("Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," "The Incredibles"). Damon Lindelof ("Star Trek Into Darkness," "Prometheus") and Jeffrey Chernov ("Star Trek," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol") are also producers. The screenplay is written by Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof from a story by Lindelof & Jeff Jensen and Brad Bird.
Jeff Jensen and John Walker ("The Incredibles") will executive produce with Bernard Bellew ("Les Mis rables," "28 Weeks Later") and Tom Peitzman, VFX producer ("Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," "Alice in Wonderland") serving as co-producers.
Bird has gathered a great team behind the lens with Oscar winning director of photography Claudio Miranda ("Life of Pi," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), production designer Scott Chambliss ("Star Trek," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "Cowboys & Aliens"), Oscar nominated costume designer Jeffrey Kurland ("Inception," "Ocean's Eleven") and Academy Award-winning editor Walter Murch ("The English Patient," "Cold Mountain").
