Tomorrowland is a film that was teased last year called 1952 and was about a mysterious box filled with strange stuff in the Disney archives.

It has changed to a story that looks to be very interesting. It all hinges on a pin (the kind you wear):



Bound by a shared destiny Casey Newton, a teen bursting with scientific curiosity, and Frank Walker, a former boy-genius inventor, embark on a mission to unearth the secrets of a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory only known as Tomorrowland where their actions directly affect the world and themselves.

Directed by Brad Bird
Screenplay by Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird
Story by Damon Lindelof Brad Bird and Jeff Jensen
Music by Michael Giacchino

Cast

George Clooney as Frank Walker
Britt Robertson as Casey Newton
Hugh Laurie as David Nix
Raffey Cassidy as Athena

Here is the Japanese trailer which not only shows more but ties it in to that viral campaign about that mysterious box found in the Disney vaults!

(Except for words on the screen, it's in English.)

The IMAX poster has just been released.



My dad (Pye-rate) says it looks like an updated EPCOT with Frank Lloyd Wright's Mile-High Tower in the center

They obviously did draw on Wright's design a bit there. I think it actually looks a bit better amidst some other architecture that way, though. I've long been a big Frank Wright fan, but I'm glad that project never saw the light of day. That thing could have made for one monstrous tragedy.

Ya. My Da (Pye-rate) says that if they used the Mile High for The Towering Inferno it'd still be burning!

Well, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (currently the world's tallest building) is over half a mile high. The Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, scheduled to be completed in 2018, will be just over one kilometer high (three-fifths of a mile).

So a mile-high building may not be that far off in the future.

But isn't the Burj Khalifa suffering stability problems? I heard last year, or the year before, that the upper stories were unoccupied because of that. Or am I thinking of another building.

One of the problems with those tall buildings is vertical transportation, and in a timely fashion. People, utilities, supplies, waste, they all have to be moved. The taller the building the more that has to be moved, and the longer it is going to take. You are going to have to change elevators, maybe more than once, to get to the top of these super buildings.

Tall buildings cause updrafts. The taller the building, the stronger the updraft. It is going to be pretty windy for a couple of blocks around a mile-high building.

All tall buildings sway. Most times you don't notice it, but they do. The taller the building, the greater the sway. Without some type of compensator, I would think that the sway on a mile-high building would be pretty noticeable.

David.

One of the jet pack suits:



The spacesuit:







All brought to you by Plus Ultra!
