Variety reports that Disney is making a movie based on the Tomorrowland part of its theme parks, yet the trade also notes the studio denies that the project is based on any such thing. Perhaps Disney is afraid the movie, which I’ll simply refer to as “The Rock in Space,” could be more Haunted Mansion than Pirates of the Caribbean?
Both Brad Pitt and Rose McGowan are spotlighted in the trades this morning for their oppositional political statements. For Pitt, it’s his donation of $100,000 to the campaign against the proposition to ban same-sex marriage in ...

The Rock Gets A Ride On Space Mountain The Tomorrowland section of Disney World is basically a vision of the future as it was imagined in the '60s, but that isn't stopping Disney from trying to make it modern. They and their go-to guy for anything with "kid-friendly" in the title-- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson-- will be working on a feature version of Tomorrowland, perhaps clearing up once and for all the paradox that is Space Mountain. Variety says Disney is denying that the movie is based on the part of the theme park, claiming it's an original script, but come on; the project ...

Dwayne Johnson packs for 'Tomorrowland'
The Screening Log —
Dwayne Johnson gears up to head into space for a Walt Disney flick inspired by the theme park’s Tomorrowland section, according to Variety. The weird thing about this is that Disney apparently denies the film has something to do with Tomorrowland. So which is it? Anyway, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will handle the script of the film, which at this stage is described only as a big space adventure. Could this turn into a new franchise a la “Pirates of the Caribbean”? Johnson is a Disney regular now. Last year he starred in the awfully boring “The Game Plan,” and he recently wrapped Andy Fickman’s ...
