Tomorrowland is an upcoming science fiction film directed, co-written, and produced by Brad Bird and produced and co-written by Damon Lindelof.[2][3] It stars George Clooney, with Hugh Laurie as the primary villain.[4]

Walt Disney Studios announced the film under the working title 1952 until it was renamed, sharing its name with the science-fiction themed land found at various Disney theme parks.[3][5] The film is scheduled to be produced and released by Walt Disney Pictures on December 19, 2014.[6]

Cast

Development

The project was first green-lit by Walt Disney Studios' Sean Bailey in June 2011 when Damon Lindelof was signed to write and produce the film.[2] In May 2012, Brad Bird was hired as director.[13] Later that year in November, George Clooney entered negotiations to star in the film.[14] In February 2013, it was reported that Hugh Laurie would play the villain.[15][4]

Early in development, neither Brad Bird, Damon Lindelof or Disney specifically said what the film's plot would be about. When asked whether the project was related to Disney's development of Star Wars Episode VII, Bird denied the claim but confirmed that Tomorrowland would be a film pertaining to the science fiction genre.[16] Despite media speculation, Lindelof has stated that the film would not be centered on extraterrestrials.[17]

On January 23, 2013, nearly a week before the title change, Bird posted a picture on his Twitter page regarding the project. The image showed a frayed cardboard box labeled 1952, supposedly uncovered from the developmental unit of Walt Disney Imagineering,[18] containing several items including archival photographs of Walt Disney, Technicolor film, envelopes, a vinyl record, space technology literature, a 1928 copy of an Amazing Stories magazine (which introduced Philip Francis Nowlan's Buck Rogers character) and an unidentified metal object.[19] On April 13, 2013, it was announced that Michael Giacchino would be composing the music for the film.[1]

Shooting on the project will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia starting Summer 2013.
