‘Tomorrowland’ Celebrates Walt Disney’s Vision Of The Future
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The world of tomorrow is a pretty wonderful place … at least that’s the sentiment of the makers of Disney’s new epic, “Tomorrowland.”
At a press conference a day after the press’s first look at “Tomorrowland,” cast and crew were on hand to answer questions about the movie’s core message.
“I grew up during the Cold War,” said George Clooney, who plays Frank Walker, a grizzled, disillusioned inventor who sets things in motion in the film. “We always thought the world would end in a nuclear holocaust … but I never had that great disappointment in mankind. I thought things would always work out in the end. What I love about this film is that it reminds you that young people aren’t born … cynical, or angry, or bigoted. They have to be taught these things. I look at the world now, and I see really good signs. I feel as if the world is getting better.” With his trademark grin, he added, “I’m a realist, but I’m also an optimist.” [Disney’s “Tomorrowland” in Pictures]
