Dwayne Johnson gears up to head into space for a Walt Disney flick inspired by the theme park’s Tomorrowland section, according to Variety.

The weird thing about this is that Disney apparently denies the film has something to do with Tomorrowland. So which is it?

Anyway, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will handle the script of the film, which at this stage is described only as a big space adventure. Could this turn into a new franchise a la “Pirates of the Caribbean”?

Johnson is a Disney regular now. Last year he starred in the awfully boring “The Game Plan,” and he recently wrapped Andy Fickman’s upcoming family adventure “Race to Witch Mountain.”

As for Moore and Lucas, they recently wrote the screenplay for Mark Waters’ comedy “The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and “The Hangover” for Todd Phillips.
