While one can feel like they know every single beat going into the average summer tentpole, our curiosity remains high for Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland. Thus far the marketing around his upcoming sci-fi adventure has remained fairly mysterious, but today brings the first full-length trailer which gives away a little bit more of the story.
With a script from Damon Lindelof, Bird, and Jeff Jensen, the story centers on Britt Robertson‘s Casey Newtown, a teenager living near Cape Canaveral who comes across a mysterious pin that reveals to her the titular place of wonder. She then connects with George Clooney’s Frank Walker, a shut-in, down-and-out inventor who knows what the girl has seen in her visions, thus beginning the adventure.
Also starring Hugh Laurie, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Robinson, check out the new trailer and poster below.
From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney.
