BREAKING NEWS: Scarlett Johansson To Star In Tower of Terror Film
We’ll here’s some interesting news that we weren’t expecting on this Wednesday afternoon. Various online sources are sharing the news that two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson will be producing and staring in a movie based on Disney’s thrilling Tower of Terror attraction.
Though not too much is known about the project we do know that Inside Out screenwriter Josh Cooley is working on the script. Johansson will reportedly produce via her company These Pictures. To our knowledge, no director has been attached to the project just yet.
Collider reached to Disney who aren’t making any comments regarding the project at this time.
Tower of Terror will of course be based on the much-loved attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This is an interesting development in that there has been much speculation that Disney would be reimaging the Tower of Terror in much the same way as it did at Disney California Adventure. However. if the studio is indeed committed to the project it must mean that Disney things there is some longevity for this headlining attraction.
This isn’t the first film dedicated to the Twilight Zone inspired attraction. Back in 1997 there as a made-for-television movie based on the same premise starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst. Speculation is that the new Twilight Zone project has been in the works for some time now but has had a few false starts.
This is just one of a handful of Disney attractions that are being converted into films. Of course the one that started it all is Pirates of the Caribbean. As we mentioned above a Haunted Mansion film is currently in the works and Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt will debut this summer. We’ve also seen feature film versions of Tomorrowland which starred George Clooney as Collider tells us there was even a pilot based on the Thunder Mountain ride back in 2013 but Disney decided not to turn it into a series.
