In that video, you probably noticed a bunch of cool stuff on and around the walls. Well, here are some of those images too.
As you can tell, Tomorrowland looks like it has the potential to be something special. If for some reason it's not, it won't be for lack of trying. The team behind the film truly put in a lot of thought and even more work into creating an original film that's rich in mythology and character. It's the kind of thing we complain we don't get enough of.
Tomorrowland opens May 22. Directed by Brad Bird, co-written by Damon Lindelof and starring Britt Robertson, George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, here's the official plot description:
From Disney comes two-time Oscar winner Brad Bird's "Tomorrowland," a riveting mystery adventure starring Academy Award winner George Clooney.
