Time Zone
Dubbed an awful film in all matters of the world, In Time was an disappointment to all because it had such a great premise - time is a currency which people trade, hoard, and waste just like real money and everyone gets 25 years for free - but awful execution (36% on Rotten Tomatoes), which Disney hopes to correct in its new land, the Time Zone.
The land is set in a much more well-off area of the urban city of Los Angeles, and will be taking over the area around the Tower of Terror.
Hollywood Studio's most iconic ride (Tower of Terror) becomes Journey from the Time Mines, where we play the role of desperate workers who want to steal a bunch of time from their corrupt boss, who lives on the top floor of the giant tower.
After this land opens, Disney remakes the movie (that FOX owns) to be much of a social commentary about wage gaps and answers the big question of the movie (how do the rich have sooooo much time; Answer: they mine humans....).
BONUS: Build a boutique hotel where guests are trying to uncover clues and rob a Time Vault together as the story.
I haven’t seen In Time, and I’d totally forgotten about it until now. Just (re)watched the trailer. That’s undeniably an intriguing premise, but nothing about the existing film (including its visuals as advertised) seem too appealing.
It seems your land would be based instead on your proposed Disney-produced remake. In this very hypothetical scenario, that is realistic. And this is definitely the kmbmw who’s busy constantly improving the DCEU! So basically, a new sci-land on a cool time/money premise.
If I were a Disney exec (oh boy!), I’d be closer to greenlighting your remake than your DHS land. The latter is basically a Tower of Terror overlay, which sounds risky. But your idea of using sci-fi cinema to explore class warfare in the U.S.? That I want to see!
Bonus: Would it ruin immersion to let guests over age 25 into this hotel?
