Answers to Brad Bird’s mysterious, futuristic sci-fi Tomorrowland are right around the corner now that the film is nearing its May 22 release date, but until that time, Disney has ensured your appetite is whet and ready with a string of new TV spots.
While the vast majority of these clips are made up of footage we’ve already seen, the TV spots still harbour some new segments that we’ve yet to come across up until now, including a rather wondrous shot of how the denizens of the titular utopia commute: spoilers, it’s a jet pack.
Starring Britt Robertson as the wide-eyed and adventurous Casey, Tomorrowland will orbit around her journey from discovering a seemingly innocuous pin – emblazioned with a large T, no less – to becoming the city’s only hope of survival. As trite as the ‘chosen one’ trait has become, there’s enough quality on both sides of the camera to warrant the benefit of the doubt. Besides, what other summer blockbuster can attest to having George Clooney and Robertson escape from androids in a bathtub?
Tomorrowland will whisk audiences to Brad Bird’s Disney-inspired utopia when it arrives in theaters on May 22. Until then, be sure to check out the new TV spots to get excited about the sci-fi’s arrival.
