Get ready for the wildest ride in the wilderness! Disney is planning a film adaptation of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad theme park attraction!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free will produce, with Hawkeye directors Bert & Bertie helming the movie from a script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney, the married screenwriting pair whose credits include Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and the 2017 Power Rangers reboot.

A mine cart ride set in a mining town where gold is discovered, the original Big Thunder Mountain opened in 1979 in Disneyland in Anaheim, with another version opening soon after at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. It is one of the more recognizable coasters in all of Disney’s theme parks.
It’s too early for any sort of an idea what a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad movie would be about, beyond the fact that it will probably be a western. Time will tell if the film studio can turn this theme park attraction into a successful film franchise such as Pirates of the Caribbean.
