Recently, during the D23 at Walt
Disney World, new footage of Brad Bird's Tomorrowland was presented, and
according to the Tomorrowland Times it featured the following:
The scene begins with young
Frank Walker (the childhood version of George Clooney's character) arriving at
the 1964 New York World's Fair via Grayhound bus. He carries a large canvas
backpack with him. As the bus lurches to a stop, the driver exclaims, "Flushing
Meadows, Corona Park, World's Fair! Don't forget your valuables, and enjoy the
future."
Walking the grounds, the Fair is revealed in its full, recreated glory.
Frank visits the Carousel of Progress, where the classic Sherman
Brothers song "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" can be heard.
He witnesses a demonstration of a "Probability Machine," at the
IBM pavilion. The demonstrator explains, "Now, these balls fall in a
random pattern, but advanced computing determines exactly where they will end
up."
Frank sits on a bench where he us joined by young Athena, played by Raffey Cassidy.
"Don't turn around," she says. "Be cool. Count to twenty,
then follow us." She presents Frank with a pin -- more on
that in a minute.
Frank hops the It's A Small World attraction queue and
sneaks onto an empty boat with his bag. He floats through the ride we all know
and love ... until he reaches the France segment. From the tip of the Eiffel
Tower, a laser scans Frank's pin. His boat is isolated on its path, and the
entire track DROPS into a ramp, sending him BENEATH the ride.
His boat approaches an isolated station in a black void. A faint blue fog
represents the horizon. Lines of light encircling the station flicker on. Frank
enters a retro-styled aluminum enclosure -- an elevator -- in which signs
indicate directions for "WORLD'S FAIR" and "TOMORROW."
A modulated voice greets him, "Good afternoon. Please step aboard the transport. The site is active." The lights begin to flicker, and Frank himself begins to phase and distort.
He falls to the ground, the lights return, and the distortion normalizes.
He schleps his bag onto his back and faces the door, which opens as binding
white light spills in. The music swells, Frank walks out ... and the clip ends.
Except, we know what sight greets him:
Tomorrowland stars George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, Thomas Robinson and Kathryn Hahn and opens on December 12, 2014.
