Disney has been known for converting popular theme park rides into fun, action-packed movies, and Space Mountain is the lastest ride getting an upgrade to the big screen.
Disney confirmed the news on Friday as “part of the studio’s latest effort to expand its universe of films about its venerable theme park rides.”
Joby Harold has been selected to write the screenplay and produce the live-action film and his wife Tory Tunnell and their Safehouse Pictures banner. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who heads Rideback, are also producing.
Harold, an acclaimed writer and producer, is currently working on the Obi-Wan Kenobi “Star Wars” series for Disney Plus. Lin and Eirich teamed with Disney on last-years live-action Aladdin.
First arriving in 1975 at Walt Disney World and then Disneyland, two years later, Space Mountain is an indoor rollercoaster in the dark that takes riders through the cosmos.
Other rides converted into movies include Pirates of the Caribbean, Country Bears, Jungle Cruise, and the Haunted Mansion, which is getting another movie, but this time live-action. Rideback will also produce the Haunted Mansion.
Space Mountain has no main characters or scenes that might hint to the plot of the movie.
There has been no set date for the start of production.
