DHS Future of the Hollywood Tower of Terror

[Disgruntled Walt]

I really hope this is an ironic reply.

Yes, it is. Either that, or I have completely lost my mind.

 

[Coaster Lover]

But, What makes it stand out is voice actor Jim Cummings at the end of both versions of the pre shows..

I went on that ride so many times when it still had the Outer Limits theme and never connected that the voiceover was Cummings until reading your post... but yeah, you're totally right! That preshow/queue was pretty solid for a non-Disney/Universal park!

Well well well, look what movie is still alive….

Nope. That’s not from one of the 3 approved movie information websites, so it can’t be true.

Ah, the "sorry Chapek publicly insulted you for demanding Disney abide by its contract so here's a producer gig hoping you won't sue us" job.

Good for her.

I would watch Scarlett Johansson watching grass grow. So I’m sure I’ll enjoy this film when it releases in 9 years.

 

[britain]

Boo! It works because it’s all ambiance, hinting at story. Fleshing it out will ruin it.

Could be a deep fake for all we know.

Good for her.

She did sue them.

 

[MisterPenguin]

She did sue them.

Ah, the "sorry Chapek publicly insulted you for demanding Disney abide by its contract so here's a producer gig hoping you won't continue to sue us" job.

Johansson was named a producer on the Tower of Terror film in June 2021:

‘Tower Of Terror’ Film Produced By Scarlett Johansson In Early Development At Disney

Deadline has confirmed that a Disney 'Tower of Terror' pic starring Scarlett Johansson is in the early stages of development.

deadline.com

She didn’t sue Disney until the following month (July), after she was already a producer on ToT, and even said at the time she wasn’t holding a “grudge”:

Scarlett Johansson Addresses Disney Lawsuit Over Black Widow Release

Scarlett Johansson addressed her past legal battle with Disney over the release of her Marvel movie 'Black Widow'

www.usmagazine.com

The lawsuit was settled in late September.

So, her role as a producer on ToT preceded her lawsuit, and she remained a producer during and after the lawsuit, and apparently remains a producer today.

In sum, her role preexisted the lawsuit, and your continued argument that it was a payoff for dropping the lawsuit or not bringing another lawsuit makes no sense.

Timeline of Scarlett Johansson's Dispute with Disney Over "Black Widow" Residuals​

Background and Lawsuit Initiation

• Scarlett Johansson's contract for Black Widow was structured around an exclusive theatrical release, with her compensation tied heavily to box office performance5.
• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney postponed the film several times before ultimately releasing it simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ (Premier Access) on July 9, 20215.
• On July 29, 2021, Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney, alleging that the dual release strategy breached her contract and cost her significant back-end compensation—reportedly over $50 million352.

Public Dispute and Negotiations

• The lawsuit sparked significant industry debate about talent compensation in the streaming era. Disney publicly responded, denying the claims and defending their actions35.
• Johansson and her team argued that Disney's decision to release the film on Disney+ without renegotiating her contract was unfair, especially given that similar deals had been made for other stars in the industry25.

Settlement and Resolution

• After about two months of public and legal back-and-forth, the dispute was resolved out of court. The settlement was announced on September 30, 20218769.
• The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but reports suggested Johansson received a payout, possibly in excess of $40 million, though less than the $50 million initially sought8.
• Both Johansson and Disney issued statements expressing satisfaction with the resolution and a desire to continue their professional relationship861.

Producer Role on Tower of Terror

• Concurrent with the settlement announcement, Disney confirmed that Scarlett Johansson would star in and produce a new film based on the "Tower of Terror" theme park attraction6189.
• This offer was publicly referenced as part of the ongoing collaboration between Johansson and Disney following the lawsuit's resolution168.

Cool. You and your AI program of choice don’t seem to understand or acknowledge her role as a ToT producer was announced in June, weeks before she filed her lawsuit. There’s a thread in this very forum time-stamped June 23, 2021.

Is this new/true/plausible or it's an old rumor of a rumor of a rumor?

I don't know, he seems to toot his own horn a bit too much, while not bringing anything new to the table that hasn't already been mentioned here.

Plus he wasn't sad about MuppetVision 3D, immediate vibe check fail.

"details that seemingly support"....


LOL


I mean, the retheme has been on the table for years. But until an insider, and not someone reading tea leaves, says so. Nope.

On Disney Dish with @lentesta last month, Jim Hill said that ScarJo intends to lean in on the Twilight Zone-ness for her film. So I think that means it's staying.
