Now that Avengers: Age of Ultron is in theaters worldwide and accumulating the GDP of a small European nation, Disney is setting its sights on the future — it’s next blockbuster feature Tomorrowland. The latest film by Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, looks to be overflowing with imagination and wonder. While George Clooney may receive top-billing, the two featurettes presented here focus on the characters of Casey and Athena, played by Britt Robertson and Raffey Cassidy, respectively. One thing the trailers and featurettes for Tomorrowland have done is tease the grandiose world of the film while maintaining a certain element of mystery concerning the plot, a near-impossible feat in the modern era.
Tomorrowland opens May 22nd, 2015.
The official synopsis for Tomorrowland:
From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.
Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.
