Tomorrowland stars George Clooney and was directed by the very talented Brad Bird. But it’s still a movie based on a Disneyland ride. There is just no getting around that fact. No one seems to be bothered by this particularly – pre awareness being the name of the game now.It will make shitloads of money.
Thankfully, they’ve opted for a female in the lead, Britt Robertson. That is very very cool thing.
Thankfully? Lame comment.
I didn’t want to post this on the Richard Glatzer piece but apparently Martin Scorsese is making a Mike Tyson biopic

I’m pretty sure that the fact that Tomorrowland is an existing attraction doesn’t qualify the film as a kids’ movie. I’m pretty sure that the The Incredibles shout in the trailer and the general tone of it, plus Disney’s prevalence in the promotional material, qualify it as a kids’ movie. I expect a PG rating.
I had no idea this was an attraction, and it looks like Disney’s not keen on making that connection in the marketing. Can’t criticise them for that, then.
I’m with Antoinette, tho. I think Brad Bird is very talented and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with this project. Nevertheless, it did all seem rather basic to me. Not a patch of Jupiter Ascending.
I didn’t know it was a ride. Does that mean it’s a kids’ movie? Anywho, I like that girl. She played Angie on the cracktastic “Under the Dome”. We’ll see what happens with this thing. I’m not particularly looking forward to it. That trailer makes it look like something the Wachowskis wipe off their shoes.
