M: Today we will talk about Disney's new movie, Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland tells the story of a wide-eyed dreamer named Casey as she follows her curiosity down a path of adventure and danger. When a strange sign shows an alternate reality, Casey begins a magical journey into another world. On her way, Casey meets a scientist named Frank. Together they carry out a task to uncover the mysteries of a land that exists between time and space: Tomorrowland.
According to Britt Robertson, the entire movie has been filled with secrecy. In fact, she had to put on a short performance many times for the part of Casey before she was even allowed to read the script. Robertson says that being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future.
Robertson auditioned for it for a very long time before she even read the script. Once she read the script, she just loved how full the story was. She was satisfied with it. She felt happy, like she had just been on an adventurous ride. She was also sad, joyful, and hopeful. She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script and it really got her thinking and it made her want to be a more positive person. She was very happy when she found out she got the role. It felt like all her hard work paid off.
