Variety says that Disney is developing a space movie based on its Tomorrowland theme park that will star Dwayne Johnson, much like how it turned the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride into a blockbuster film trilogy.

The studio has set screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore to draft an epic-sized action adventure set in space. The film is being designed as a vehicle for Johnson, who starred for the studio in family hit The Game Plan and most recently completed Race to Witch Mountain.

The trade adds that Disney denies the film has been titled Tomorrowland or is dedicated to the park's section, a futuristic area of the Magic Kingdom. The studio called the nascent project an original script.

The film would be produced by Mayhem Pictures partners Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, who produced The Game Plan.

Intriguing, Butlin Boy very intriguing... I'd read about Race to witch mountain... and the cast of The Rock (I won't call "The Great One", "The Brama Bull", Dwayne... its just not right) but I wonder what they'll do with it... I guess we'll have to wait and see...

On another note... I've been reading on wiki lately that there are/have also plans for a "Jungle Cruise" movie... again taking ideas from the concept... ride to movie like POTC, but i can't find anything on it!
