Tower of Terror Movie in the Works at Disney

Tower of Terror

A Tower of Terror movie based on the Disney Parks attraction is in the works at Disney according to reports.

36-year-old actress Scarlett Johansson is set to produce the new film and Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley is penning the script for the project based on the classic Disney theme park ride.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, and it is unclear if the Oscar nominee would act in the project as well. Johansson is producing via her These Pictures banner with Jonathan Lia.

First introduced in 1994, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a drop-in-the-dark ride based on the classic television series of the same name.

Host Rod Serling narrates the experience, in which guests weave through a queue inside the fictional Hollywood Tower Hotel before boarding an elevator that “travels directly to … The Twilight Zone.”

In 1997 Walt Disney Television produced a TV film based on Tower of Terror starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst. It was Disney’s first film based on its theme park locations. Since then, however, Disney has produced films based on attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean, Tomorrowland, and Haunted Mansion.
