Disney's TOMORROWLAND Begins Filming, Releases Plot Teaser [News]

Tomorrowland Theme Park

Find out more about Brad Bird’s mystery film: Tomorrowland.

Disney started principal photography on Tomorrowland two weeks ago in Vancouver and they’ve released a teaser for the upcoming live-action film. Based on the Disney theme land, Tomorrowland is one of the many theme lands at the five Disney theme parks worldwide. Each version of the land is different and features different attractions that depict life of the future.

Walt Disney once described his vision saying, “Tomorrow can be a wonderful age. Our scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age
to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come.
The Tomorrowland attractions have been designed to give you an
opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of
our future.”

Directed by Brad Bird, Tomorrowland stars George Clooney and Hugh Laurie and the short plot is described as “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.'”

It’s not much to go on, but it sounds like a thrilling adventure.
