The image doesn’t last long, as someone flies with a jetpack of some sort from below, where she’s looking, over her head as the camera follows. There are skyscraper-style buildings, and what looks like a monorail line running parallel to the river, and I think I can make out some people walking on an elevated bridge off to the right. It has flowing lines, and a futuristic shine, but it also has a river running through it and large hoop-like structures covered in greenery, that look like they almost grew out of the ground. She’s leaning over a railing, looking at an expansive city landscape unlike anything we’ve seen before. It gives a look inside Tomorrowland, to which Casey has journeyed. Then, surprisingly, we get one more quick shot. The logo then fades into a closeup image of the pin, which has the same logo upon it: The teaser then cuts to the Tomorrowland logo, with its atomic symbol in the center: “Do you want to go?” he asks, presumably directing his question at Casey. We then see the source of the voice, Frank Walker (George Clooney), sitting in a room filled with screens, many showing various disasters or conflicts, including tornadoes and fires, but also showing some interesting numbers and countdowns. We get our first look at the titular Tomorrowland, looking like a white, shining version of the Emerald City in the distance. As she does, the voice continues: “A miraculous place, where you could actually change the world.”īut as she turns to look the other way, she spots something that looks completely out of place. She stands up and takes a look around, clearly not in Florida anymore. “No way,” she says in amazement, and more confidently she reaches to pick up the pin.įor the third time she finds herself in the field, but this time she holds on to the pin. She touches the pin for just an instant, flashing once again to the field. As she does, a voice asks, “What if there was a place, a secret place, where nothing was impossible?” She’s shocked at first, but somehow intrigued, and reaches for the pin once again. She drops the pin almost as soon as she’s picked it up and returns to the police station. The instant she touches it, she is flashed to another place entirely, into the middle of a wheat field surrounded by mountains. “The pin,” she says, somewhat indignantly, and reaches to pick it up. “What’s not yours?” the officer asks, walking away. “That’s not mine,” she says as she gathers up her things. We don’t know what they’re rioting about (though any number of current events and situations come to mind), but perhaps she was arrested at some kind of demonstration gone wrong.Īs the police officer lays out her belongings (which include a NASA hat), he mentions a pin. It seems that whatever time period in which this is set is seeing some riots and looting. As she glances at the TV screen in the corner, the news report might give us a clue. ![]() She’s claiming her belongings, as one would do after being arrested, so we have to wonder what happened to land her in this situation. She approaches a window where a police officer opens an envelope and proceeds to go through its contents with her. The trailer opens with a shot of teenager Casey Newton (played by Britt Robertson), who looks as if the world has beaten her down. Take a look at the trailer below, and read on for a breakdown of it and my thoughts: I got more than a little emotional watching it, but that may just have been from personal reasons. ![]() Out of seemingly nowhere today, we finally got our first look at footage from the film (due out May 22, 2015) in a quick teaser trailer. ![]() Ever since director Brad Bird tweeted a picture of a mysterious box from the Disney Archives in January of last year, I’ve been mildly obsessed with the film (for reasons I’ll get to after talking about the trailer). ![]() I’ve been looking forward to Tomorrowland for well over a year.
