Big Thunder Mountain film in the works - wonder how this will affect the ride(s)?

I wonder how this will affect the rides, or the long-gestating S.E.A. project (since Barnabas T. Bullion was one of the owners of the Big Thunder Mining Company)

At least we'll get to keep BTMRR

The whole DLP Thunder Mesa backstory is enough for a movie or limited Disney+ series, but I doubt that'll be the story they pick.

I'll believe it when I see it. It's been a doomed property that's never made it out of development, not as a movie, not as a TV show. But maybe this time!

Like the backstory of the attraction it's based on...perhaps it's cursed?

The Big Thunder realted comic book series released some years ago was great, and could easily be turned into a film or series.
Just do it right, and it will be 'gold'.

It’ll prob end up rethemed to turning red after they put the new jack sparrow replacement in pirates from the next movie that’s gonna bomb

Untill some idiot at Disney considers it offensive. Lol

While I find the modern Disney Corporation lacking, to put it politely, I'll admit that I found the Haunted Mansion and Country Bears movies completely fun kids movies. And as far as I know they didn't synergistically and hamhandedly shoehorn those films into those attractions.

Jungle Cruise just left me asking, "Why? And who came up with this?"

I would expect a Big Thunder film to leave me asking the same questions. And I would expect that the ride would not remain unscathed.
