Tomorrowland has been purposefully secretive from the off, which makes sense considering it's about a secret city full of secret technology and secrets generally. Now, though, as the release draws closer, more details are coming to light. Here are a couple of said details in the form of two exclusive stills from the latest Empire Magazine, out now.
{New Tomorrowland Stills}
Like Pirates Of The Carribbean before it, Tomorrowland was inspired by a Disneyland theme park zone, but Brad Bird's big budget sci-fi spectacular is so much more than a quickie crossover. "I would say it's inspired by a Disney frame of mind," says Bird. "Walt Disney was an environmentalist, a naturalist, a progressive thinker when it came to the future." Also, when it comes to the crunch, Tomorrowland is special in a more dollars-and-cents way: "An original film with a budget of over $100 million? That's a very rare creature."
The young man in these two stills is actually a young Frank Walker (Thomas Robinson), the jaded scientist character later played by George Clooney who knows where Tomorrowland is, but needs the kick in the bum enthusiastic teenager Casey (Britt Robertson) and a group of mysterious and aggressive antagonists provides.
There's plenty more to think about when you read the feature in the new Empire, but in the meantime, enjoy the latest trailer from the film, which explains just enough while still maintaining the mystery. Good luck keeping that up, Disney marketing folk...
Tomorrowland, which also stars Judy Freer, Kathryn Hahn, Hugh Laurie and Pierce Gagnon, is set to arrive in the UK on May 22.
