Development

The project was green-lit by Walt Disney Studios' Sean Bailey in June 2011 when Damon Lindelof signed to write and produce. In May 2012, Brad Bird was hired as director. Later that year in November, George Clooney entered negotiations to star in the film. In February 2013, media reports revealed Hugh Laurie would play the villain.

Brad Bird, Damon Lindelof, and Disney have not publicly discussed the plot. When asked whether the project was related to Disney's development of Star Wars Episode VII, Bird said no but confirmed Tomorrowland is a science fiction film. Notwithstanding media speculation, Lindelof has said the film will not center on extraterrestrials.

On January 23, 2013, nearly a week before the title change, Bird posted a picture on his Twitter page related to the project. The image showed a frayed cardboard box labeled 1952, supposedly uncovered from the Walt Disney Imagineering developmental unit, and contained items like archival photographs of Walt Disney, Technicolor film, envelopes, a vinyl record, space technology literature, a 1928 copy of an Amazing Stories magazine (which introduced Philip Francis Nowlan's Buck Rogers character), and an unidentified metal object. On April 13, 2013, media reports indicated that Michael Giacchino would compose the film music. On July 18, 2013, an industry trade magazine reported Britt Robertson was cast as the lead.

On August 10, 2013, Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof gave a presentation at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim, California. They opened the "1952" box and revealed many of its contents. Later that day a pavilion was unveiled on the D23 Expo show floor which presented the items for close inspection by guests. There was also an accompanying iPhone app which took viewers through the exhibit much like you would experience a museum exhibit.

Principal photography commenced in Enderby, British Columbia on August 19, 2013, and will also film in Vancouver and Surrey, ending on January 15, 2014. On October 7, 2013, Kathryn Hahn was cast as a character named Ursula.
