Disney has announced plans for a movie based on the popular theme park attraction, Big Thunder Mountain. The film will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, known for their work on Marvel’s Avengers movies. Big Thunder Mountain, located in Disney parks worldwide, is a thrilling roller coaster set in a mining town from the Old West. Although details about the plot or cast have not been revealed, the Russos’ involvement hints at an action-packed adventure. This announcement adds to Disney’s growing list of theme park ride-inspired films, following successful releases like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise..
Quick, name an iconic Disney ride that you really want to see as a big budget blockbuster film experience. If you said Big Thunder Mountain, you’re in luck. Disney has announced their intentions to continue making films based on their most famous theme park rides, with Big Thunder Mountain scheduled to receive this lavish treatment with MCU series Hawkeye directors Bert and Bertie at the helm.
Beyond the announcement of the film itself and its directors, we don’t know much else about this project. It seems probable that the movie will follow a similar template as past examples, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, and the regrettable 2003 The Haunted Mansion (which is getting a new movie in 2023).
In other words, an original story for Big Thunder Mountain will be developed around the hallmarks of the ride that generations of Disney fans have come to know and love. Expect something involving the ride’s enduring popularity as a wild adventure on a rollercoaster in the form of a mine cart. Other elements of the ride are likely to be incorporated into a story that will perhaps most closely resemble the recent Jungle Cruise.
Despite a lack of details on plot, to say nothing of the release date, we know that the film will be penned by Kieran and Michele Mulroney (2017’s Power Rangers movie). On the production side of things, Big Thunder Mountain will be handled by LuckyChap Entertainment and Scott Free. It’s also unknown as to when the movie will begin filming, and there are currently no casting announcements or rumors to consider.
