A new movie based on Disney theme park attraction and folklore is in the works! Disney has tapped Strange World filmmaker Qui Nguyen to pen a Society of Explorers and Adventurers film with Ryan Reynold’s Maximum Effort aboard to produce.
The Society of Explorers and Adventurers also known as SEA, started out as a part of the lore and attractions at Tokyo Disneyland. The characters are also included in the Mystic Manor attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland.
Originally founded in 1538 in Italy, the society soon expanded around the globe. The SEA counts not just explorers and adventurers in its wide-ranging membership, but also includes scientists, artists, and travelers of all stripes. Names of some of the eclectic crew include Harrison Hightower III, Mary Oceaneer, and Lord Henry Mystic. Though the SEA crew originated in these two rides, it has since touched many parts of the Disney parks and properties to the point that keen-eyed fans can find connections across many rides, and you can catch SEA paraphernalia around various theme park rides and attractions.

Disney’s upcoming live-action theatrical feature, eyed as a franchise launcher, is billed as an adventure tying together the lore behind several of Disney’s most famous theme park attractions, with a modern twist. This new take on the SEA mythology will pursue alternative angles in present day by adding a new supernatural element to the history and following new characters not present in the original lore.
Nguyen is set to write the film, which will be live-action. Ryan Reynolds will be serving as a producer on the project along with the executives at his banner Maximum Effort.
Further details regarding the upcoming project have not yet been released.
