Director Brad Bird's next live action feature, Tomorrowland, has been brewing for some time and I'd love for Disney to keep it that way as this film seems steeped in mystery, but lo and behold we have a third and hopefully final trailer today. With a screenplay from Lost co-creator and head scribe Damon Lindelof and direction from Bird, who has done nothing but prove himself time and time again (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), I am extremely eager to dig into this collaboration. What I'm most hopeful for with this film is that it will present an interesting world to actually explore rather than simply letting itself become wrapped up in a standard plot. While I'm thankful this latest trailer doesn't give away too much concerning whatever that plot might be it certainly only piques my interest more in the inventiveness of Bird and how well he executes it as the highlight here is clearly a set piece that takes place early on in the film. I'm really rooting for this one to be a break-out hit as it's in a rare position of appealing to almost anyone no matter their age and so it seemingly shouldn't be difficult to find an audience. Disney will also be unleashing six minutes of new footage from the film before Avengers: Age of Ultron so while they've done a solid job on the marketing front so far, let's hope it doesn't go bottoms up three weeks before we get to see the film in its entirety. George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie, Tim McGraw, Kathryn Hahn, Judy Greer and Keegan-Michael Key star. Tomorrowland opens May 22nd.
Synopsis: 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.”
