Clooney set for Disney film
George Clooney’s mysterious Disney movie has been renamed Tomorrowland.
The 51-year-old actor has been confirmed to star in Brad Bird’s "ultra-secret sci-fi project", which was originally known by the working title 1952.
Jeff Jensen and Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof will produce the project along with Bird, and the pair have also penned the script, originally thought to have similarities to Steven Spielberg’s cult 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
However, Lindelof retweeted a picture of a box of Walt Disney’s personal archive labelled ‘1952’ on his Twitter account last week, with the caption: "The Box… opened".
The box contained old photographs of Disney, Technicolour film, a history of NASA called ‘Model Research’, an August 1928 edition of Amazing Stories magazine, and a vinyl record.
After stirring up fans’ curiosity, Lindelof quashed previous reports the film would be an alien invasion movie. The news could support theories it will instead be based on the Tomorrowland section of the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Florida – a Jules Verne-inspired vision of a future that never came to fruition.
He teased on Monday the 28th of January 2013: "We won’t tell you what it’s about (yet), but we will tell you what it’s NOT about. And that would be ALIENS. #Tomorrowland"
Tomorrowland is scheduled for release in cinemas on 19 December 2014.
