Fun Poster for the Movie Secretly Shot at Disneyland - ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW
Here's a fun and kind of twisted movie poster for the insanely surreal Disneyland film Escape From Tomorrow . The movie was secretly shot at the Disney theme parks, and I'm actually excited that you'll get the chance to see this movie. I thought for sure that Disney would shut this sucker down, but it's set to be released on October 11th. As I've said before, this is a film that must be experienced because of how bizarre it is.
Jim White is an average American family man, mostly content to exist within his humdrum reality. At the tail end of a theme park vacation with his loving wife and two beautiful children, he is awakened by an unsettling phone call from his boss, who tells him that he has lost his job. Unwilling to disturb their sabbatical, Jim holds off on breaking the news to his family so they can enjoy their last day at the idyllic and beloved tourist destination. In desperate need of a distraction, he finds one amidst the long lines at the park—two attractive and fun-loving teenage girls. In his fractured state, Jim falls obsessively in love, making any excuse he can to follow them everywhere. Along the way, his paranoid psyche spirals even further downward, and the fine line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred.
This is what Eli had to say about the film in his review:
I absolutely loved the satirical humor in the first 2/3 of the movie. There were so many well-written scenes that really feel authentic to what a "not-so-magical" day at the "Happiest Place on Earth" is like. The film's final act is what will polarize audiences. You'll either love or hate the bizarre turn this takes. Even though this "line between fantasy and reality" is set up throughout the movie, it turns into something I personally found hard to enjoy. Not only could I not make heads or tails of the ending, it just stopped being funny and resorted to gross-out humor.
