Space Mountain [Disney - 20??]

Après Pirates des Caraïbes, The Haunted Mansion, ou plus récemment Jungle Cruise, les studios Disney ont pour projet une nouvelle adaptation cinématographique de l'une des plus plus célèbres attractions des Parcs Disney : Space Mountain.

Ce projet est confié au scénariste de la série Star Wars sur Obi-Wan Kenobi, Joby Harold (qui a également travaillé sur Army of the Dead ou Le Roi Arthur : La Légende d'Excalibur). Ce dernier se chargera également de produire le film aux côtés de sa partenaire et épouse Tory Tunnell, sous la bannière de production Safehouse Pictures. Le long-métrage est prévu pour une sortie dans les salles de cinéma.

Joby Harold will also produce with partner and wife Tory Tunnell and their Safehouse Pictures banner.
Disney is getting ready to ride Space Mountain onto the big screen.

The venerable ride is getting the movie treatment, with the studio hiring Joby Harold, who has worked a range of movies from Zack Snyder’s upcoming Army of the Dead to Warner’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, to write the script for what is to be a live-action adaptation.


Harold will also produce with partner and wife Tory Tunnell and their Safehouse Pictures banner. Also producing is Rideback, the shingle run by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich and was behind Disney’s billion dollar-grossing Aladdin.

Space Mountain is an indoor roller coaster with a space-theme. The ride was first introduced in Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort in 1975, followed by installations in California’s Disneyland in 1977. It became a fixture in the Tomorrowland section as other parks opened up and is now in five of the six parks around the world. The ride has no overarching theme nor memorable “scenes” or characters seen in such rides as Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, Space Mountain in Disneyland has turned into Hyperspace Mountain and given a Star Wars make up on occasion. As such, the story is being created whole cloth with the ride acting as inspiration.

Logline details are being kept hidden amidst the rings of Saturn but it is described as a family adventure.

The project, which is in the early stages, is intended for theatrical release.

Harold is currently writing and executive producing the Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars series for Disney+ and earned an executive producer credit for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. He was  also an exec producer on Underground, the historical drama co-created by Lovecraft Country’s Misha Green.

Tunnell also exec produced Underground and served in the same capacity on Safehouse's Spinning Out, Netflix’s figure skating drama that starred Kaya Scodelario and January Jones.

Harold is repped by Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment and Goodman Genow.

Il y aurait plus d’intérêt de faire un film sur la version parisienne que les versions américaines ...

Puis on en profite pour faire une maj qui rendra à l'attraction son thème d'origine, en vrai y'a un énorme potentiel la dessus.

Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec will pen the script inspired by the Disney ride.

Action scribes Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec are going to Disneyland.

The prolific team behind Amazon’s high-profile spy series Citadel and showrunners on Netflix’s adaptation of Cowboy Bebop have been tapped to write Disney’s live-action adaptation of Space Mountain.

Jonathan Eirich from Rideback, the banner that is behind Netflix’s hit live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series, is producing the feature, which has been in development for several years, along with Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures. Harold was the project’s previous writer. Rideback’s Ryan Halprin is exec producing.

Plot details are being kept in the hair-sweeping rush of the dark void as Appelbaum and Nemec build out the story.

While the duo may be currently known for their series work, they have plenty of feature work under their belt. Their credits include 2011’s Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, directed by Brad Bird, and the two live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that Paramount made in the mid-2010s, among other movies.

The duo is repped by WME and Sloane Offer.
