Briefly: Disney announced today that the upcoming science fiction film from Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, formally known as 1952, will now be titled Tomorrowland.
As the new name suggests, the film appears to be about Disney Parks’ famous Tomorrowland, which holds Space Mountain among other out-of-this-world ride experiences.
The film will be released in the United States on December 19, 2014. George Clooney (The Descendants) is set to star.
Tomorrowland is written by Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird from a concept by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen. Lindelof (Star Trek, Lost, Prometheus) will produce and Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) will produce and direct.
Details on the plot are still scarce, but the producers teased the following image on Twitter recently which depicts various parts of Disney history that they are using to develop Tomorrowland:
The first Tomorrowland in Southern California’s Disneyland opened in 1955, so the reason for the 1952 working title is still unknown.
