NYCC Trailer: George Clooney in ‘Tomorrowland’

One of the big panels this year at the New York Comic Con was with Walt Disney pictures.  They had a double-panel for the upcoming Animation Studios production Big Hero 6 and, as a premiere that the same day hit the web yesterday, the sci-fi Tomorrowland.

The movie comes via director Brad Bird (two-time Oscar winner for The Incredibles and Ratatouille), screenwriter Damon Lindelof (Prometheus) and stars George Clooney.  The interesting thing with this teaser is that the first minute has a pace that we don’t usually see in trailers – it moves like a slow building scene, with a teenager (Britt Robertson) seemingly getting out of jail and touching an object that flashes her in… time!

There’s a lot of mystery to see with this movie for sure, and the synopsis from Disney is enough to intrigue without in the slightest spoil: “Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor jaded by disillusionment embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory as “Tomorrowland.”

Here’s the trailer below.  Look like one of the big summer movies for next year (film is due May 22nd)?  A different pace?  Visual flair up the wazoo?  Tweet us @F
