The Disney Parks Blog has posted an image relating to the upcoming 'Tomorrowland" movie, posing the question "What’s in the box, and what does it have to do with us? We’re as eager as you are to find out."

So what is the tie in with the parks?

In 1952 Walt Disney formed a little organization that would become Walt Disney Imagineering. The movie may, or may not, also be linked to secretive technologies that Walt was working on (fantasy). There are rocket pieces and a book regarding NASA I believe.

According to Entertainment Weekly the box contains -
"The book Model Research: The National Advisory Committee For Aeronautics 1918-1958 by military history professor Alex Roland (published in 1985), and an August 1928 edition of Amazing Stories magazine, featuring a man in a flying suit on the cover — the first appearance of the time-leaping hero Buck Rogers.
There is also what appears to be some sort of 45 record, the nozzle of a small rocket engine, and a scattering of photos of Walt Disney himself."

This is gping to be Brad Bird's new movie called Tomorrowland. Here is an excerpt from Entertainment Weekly's article...

The working title has been 1952, but the top secret film being developed by Disney is now unveiling its official moniker …
Tomorrowland.
The live-action movie will star George Clooney, and it is being developed by director Brad Bird (Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, The Incredibles, The Iron Giant) and writers Damon Lindelof and Entertainment Weekly’s own Jeff “Doc” Jensen (who has been unable to breathe a word to his colleagues. Damn him).

Last week, Lindelof and Bird began teasing a a revelation, posting images of an archive materials box labeled “1952″ on Twitter. Inside the box, which supposedly provided inspiration for the story, is a copy of the book Model Research: The National Advisory Committee For Aeronautics 1918-1958 by military history professor Alex Roland (published in 1985), and an August 1928 edition of Amazing Stories magazine, featuring a man in a flying suit on the cover — the first appearance of the time-leaping hero Buck Rogers.
There is also what appears to be some sort of 45 record, the nozzle of a small rocket engine, and a scattering of photos of Walt Disney himself.

Sorry for straying off topic but THIS begs for this joke.... (It also makes you wonder if anyone in Disney PR has any pop culture/hollywood knowledge)

Considering Lindelof had a hand in Prometheus, ("Plot Holes - in - Spaaaaaaaace"), my general feeling about this is.....well....uh.....meh.

upon further review of the all mighty internet. Not a rocketeer reboot though I say that would be sah-wheet. But appears to be based directly on the ideas that Disney had for the world of tomorrow that were displayed in Tomorrowland. as if many of the ideas and creations came to fruition and actually a existed today.

Right can I say something what if Disney intends to blur the lines between reality and fiction and say in those photographs that Disney and Stark are somehow met each other and his a big ruse to reveal the Iron Man attraction in DL....?

I know it's Tin Foil Hats theory but .... is this movie about Howard Stark ...
