George Clooney stars in the Disney sci-fi movie.
House star Hugh Laurie is reportedly up for the villain role in director Brad Bird's science fiction film Tomorrowland.
George Clooney plays the hero in the secrecy-cloaked film, which The Hollywood Reporter says will be in the vein of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Jim Hill Media posits that Tomorrowland might actually have "something to do with Project Blue Book, the program that the U.S. Air Force launched in late 1952 / early 1953 for the investigation of unidentified flying objects. And to now get really, really specific here, I believe that this upcoming Walt Disney Pictures release (which is due to hit theaters on December 19, 2014) uses a behind-the-scenes story that the late Ward Kimball loved to tell as its jumping-off point. Where -- during the mid-1950s -- the U.S. government supposedly approached Walt Disney and then asked for his help in producing a TV show that would eventually be used to break the news to the American public that UFOS are real."
Damon Lindelof and Jeff Jensen co-wrote Tomorrowland (pka 1952).
