Yesterday, Disney unveiled the first pictures from **Tomorrowland, featuring a grizzled George Clooney and a curious Britt Robertson. With the film getting its latest push at the New York Comic-Con, the first teaser trailer has now arrived.
Filmmakers Brad Bird, Damon Lindelof and Jeff Jensen have clearly asked the marketing bods to keep to the “tease” part of the promo’s title, though we actually see more than anyone expected at this stage. If you’re still planning to go in without knowing too much, you may want to skip to the end.
The first footage introduced Robertson’s Casey Newton, a troubled young woman who is getting out of a police lock up. Included amongst the personal items returned to her is a mysterious pin she doesn’t recognize – one that appears able to transport her to the titular world, a place where, we’re told, “nothing is impossible.” Cue a quick trip to Tomorrowland, where jetpacks are possible and the futuristic landscape is clearly designed to wow you.
It’s certainly an intriguing glimpse at the film, and leaves us with more questions than answers – on purpose. Tomorrowland, which also stars Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn, Hugh Laurie and Pierce Gagnon, is set to arrive in the UK on May 22 next year.
