George Clooney: “When Brad and Damon came to the house to show me the script, they brought a box they pulled out of the archive, with the blueprint. And they showed that underneath the blueprint of Tomorrowland was another blueprint of another Tomorrowland to be built underneath it, which didn’t happen, and which was probably Epcot. But that’s what even inspired them to write the film in the first place.”

Britt Robertson: “If you think about Tomorroland in terms of the Disney parks, it’s about what the future brings and progress, basically. And I think that’s sort of what the movie takes from the Disney park aspect of it… You started a little place like the Carousel of Progress and then you turn it into this adventure.”

Brad Bird: “We weren’t so much inspired by the land as much as the idea of the land. Walt Disney created Tomorrowland as the only part of the park that was continually on the edge of being out of date, because the future was always changing. But instead of viewing that as a burden, he viewed it as something exciting and fun.”
