Disney Greenlights New 'Space Mountain' Movie, Taps Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec as Screenwriters

The iconic theme park ride, Space Mountain, is set for a cinematic adaptation by the experienced screenwriting duo, known for their work on 'Citadel' and 'Cowboy Bebop'.

Disney has announced a new movie based on the Space Mountain ride, with Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec as screenwriters.
The project has seen previous attempts, including a script by Max Landis in 2012 that was eventually shelved.
Space Mountain, a staple in Disney parks since 1975, has no inherent narrative, providing the writers a blank slate for the story.
Disney's history with theme park ride adaptations has been mixed, with successes like 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and failures like 'The Haunted Mansion'.
The new 'Space Mountain' movie does not yet have a release date, reflecting the early stage of its development.
