Adapting a theme park ride into a movie worked for Walt Disney Pictures and their Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Now, the studio could be using the same business strategy with its theme park Tomorrowland, depending on whether you believe Variety or the studio. Screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore have been hired to pen a space adventure for the big screen and Disney has grabbed Dwayne Johnson, who recently starred in their family hit The Game Plan and also led the modern take of Race to Witch Mountain.

The studio calls it
nascent project with an original script, denies the film title as "Tomorrowland" and says that it will not be dedicated to its theme park attraction. Mayhem Pictures partners Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray are set to produce.

Plot Concept:
Story is said to be
an epic-sized action adventure set in space.

Too early to form an opinion except to say that the only "space epic" I'm looking forward to is Green Lantern

It would be a good idea to adapt from the theme park again. Worked with Pirates of the Carbs. I grew up thinking that Disney park was supposed to be cutting edge of future tech. This would be a good way to getting that edge back if they can make it right.

It also failed with The Country Bears and Haunted Mansion.

And did not work with Country Junction Bars. I'm hoping Futureland works so they continue to make movies based on Disneyland/world. Then one day, just maybe, we'll have "Monorail: The Movie." Hopefully they'll get Conan O'Brien to write it. Guy knows his monorail musical numbers.

LOL! What's it called? Monorail How's it work? Monorail! Big R.I.P. shoutout to Phil Hartman!

Uh Joey, he died in 1998. What's with the sudden announcement? And I don't even think it was in September. As for this I hope they make the movie stand in line ride. That's the one I do the most when I go to theme parks. Oh, Oh and I love that screw you at the concession stand ride. That's my favorite.

So? The monorail song made me remember just how much I miss him. Hope he's still resting peacefully. Horrible way for a man that funny to got out. As far as your movie suggestions go, they can combine the two into one great flick. Charge us $55 at the door, double all concession pricing and then seat us in the theater all day. Maybe send the concession stand in once every hour and a half.

Word, Joey. Phil was one of the best. Don't forget making us wait in line to see the film!
joeybaloney 9/18/2008 3:54:31 PM
No lines. Just the line experience. Get you in quick and then you wait all day for a movie that never starts. With a bunch of kids.
almostunbiased 9/18/2008 6:31:26 PM
I'd buy that for a dollar. And gotcha about Phil. He was one funny dude.
