Q: The original "Tomorrowland" was a 1960's vision of the future. What's the angle you're taking?
Jon Lucas: Slightly faster.
Scott Moore: Disney had such success with "Pirates of the Caribbean," they basically want to do "Pirates of the Caribbean" in space. They want it to be big, fun, adventure, comedy. Our vision of the future and whether we're successful or not is actually not retro, but what would be the coolest future?
Lucas: We want to do a movie that's not dystopia. I actually think the arch of human history is bending towards better things generally. Not always, but sort of. Things are better now than they were 2000 years ago. Somehow in the future like 100 years from now, everything has gotten dark and it's this horrible world. Our crazy idea is what if our future is actually good.
Moore: It's based on a Disney [themed land] too.
Lucas: Yeah, so we can't take this really dark.
