The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror opened in 1994 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, with other Tower of Terror rides opening at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, France’s Walt Disney Studios Park, and Tokyo DisneySea. The ride is known for ending with a terrifying drop.
This is not the first time the ride was the focus of artistic production. In 1997 a TV movie was made about the ride, which starred Steve Guttenberg as a reporter investigating the case of a 1930s hotel where people mysteriously disappeared, with Kirsten Dunst playing his niece.
Disney has found past success with movies based on its rides, with Pirates of the Caribbean spawning a five-movie franchise that earned $4.5 billion combined.
"The Tower of Terror" development comes as Disney prepares to unleash another ride movie "Jungle Cruise", starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, opens July 30.
Johansson will next appear in Disney and Marvel’s "Black Widow", which will debut in two weeks.
Moreover, the Oscar nominee is set to receive the 35th annual American Cinematheque Award gala and tribute at the Beverly Hilton, on November 18.
