Just Thinking about Tomorrow(land)

by Mike Krumboltz

Sometimes movies based on a Disney attraction are a huge success (see: "Pirates of the Caribbean"). Sometimes, as in the case of "The Haunted Mansion," they're a crashing bust. Mickey, Goofy, and their army of shareholders are surely hoping an upcoming flick based on Disney's "Tomorrowland" is more Captain Jack than spooky specter.

One thing the recently announced "Tomorrowland" does have going for it: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The former professional wrestler heads up the cast. Other than that, few details are known. Still, the lack of facts hasn't stopped the blogosphere from speculating as to the movie's plot and whether it'll fly with audiences.

Tomorrowland, the attraction, is the section of Disneyland that's supposedly set in the future. Or is it supposed to be outer space? Either way, we assume Mr. Johnson will do most of his acting in front of a blue screen. How will the filmmakers stretch this into a two hour movie? Hey, if they can turn a boat ride full of animatronic pirates into a billion dollar trilogy, we figure they can do anything.
