BD Horror News - Disney Planning 'Tower of Terror' Feature Film

After the tragic events of September 11th, the economy was in shambles (much like it is now). Everything was hurting, including all of the major theme parks (with all of the new fear of flying). In an interesting move, Disney decided to make motion pictures based on their theme park rides to try and get people back into their parks. After the smashing success of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, two sequels were made, along with a movie based on their ride The Haunted Mansion. While there are many (announced) projects in the works, a source tells Bloody-Disgusting that a movie based on their awesome Tower of Terror is also in the grapevine. While rights issues are still being worked out, the plan is to follow a group of characters that enter a bizarre world where nothing is as it seems. While the ride is a spin on the "Twilight Zone" franchise, "Zone" is a Warner Bros. property.

I actually remember that Disney did a tv made movie about that particular ride by the same name I believe. Either way, for a tv movie it was pretty good and I hope that it actually does become a movie with the storyline that this site stated, and I also hope Warner Brothers gets the rights too it or Disney uses one of it's grown up companys to do it cause I want a horror movie from disney, not another Haunted Mansion type bullshit.

Yes you are right it had Kristen Dunst and Steve Gutenburg...Or however you spell his name and from what I remember it was decent but then again I was 13 or something

Hahaha! MH4g4 that's exactly how I felt. I thought it was good at the time, but I just checked IMDB... not the best ratings...

This does not sound like a good idea. PIRATES was gold and now they think they can keep the cash rollin. What's next ? "It's a Small World" ? "Space Mountain" ? Or how bout the mind blowing adventure "Tea Cups" ??

well now ik how fans of original horror movies feel about remakes. i loved the original and it had my favorite actress at the time in it (Kirsten Dunst, i still love her!). so i'm pretty much against the remake.

Maybe Kirsten Dunst can make a cameo in a scene were she get her uterus ripped out.

I remember watching it on the Wonderful World of Disney on a Sunday night and then watching Anaconda on VHS because it had come out the Tuesday of that Week. WOW I feel old.

Loved Haunted Mansion + Pirates...plus I ride Tower of Terror probably twice a year since they opened it. And I gotta say that riding that 3 weeks after 9-11 was probably one of the most eerie things. weird. anyway, the story for the ride is cool (and well done) so if they follow their other ride-->movie formula this should be good!
