REEL DEAL: Child Stars Make Their Mark In “TOMORROWLAND”

Joining George Clooney in Disney's mystery adventure “Tomorrowland” are two child stars playing pivotal roles: Thomas Robinson who portrays the young version Clooney's character, Frank; and Rafey Cassidy who plays Athena.

As is typical in the industry, casting of the children’s parts presented its own challenges. “Young Frank was a little hard because we needed someone that looked like George and who could handle the physicality of the part because we wanted to do so much of it in camera,” says producer Jeffrey Chernov. “When we found Thomas it was like we struck gold.”

Commenting on his young costar, Hugh Laurie says, “Thomas Robinson gave Young Frank every possible ounce of energy and optimism and idealism that the part needed. For him the world is a huge adventure to be grasped and every day was a chance to discover something more, do something more, try something new. He was fearless and completely charming.”

REEL DEAL: George Clooney - Disillusioned Inventor In “TOMORROWLAND”

George Clooney leads the cast of Disney's “Tomorrowland” as Frank Walker, once a dreamer and budding scientist, who isolates himself on the family farm, and living like a hermit surrounded by his unique inventions spawned from his growing sense of paranoia. When a young stranger shows up on his doorstep, Frank is forced to leave his secure world and deal with his past.

Director Brad Bird and screenwriter Damon Lindelof had only one man in mind to play the film's lead character -- the disillusioned inventor Frank Walker. “From very early on we described Frank as George Clooney-esque,” recalls Lindelof, “and whenever we would talk about actors for Frank, the thinking was: who’s like Clooney? We crossed our fingers and did our best job of writing it, infusing Frank with a curmudgeonly humor and a heroic quality, all of which we think George embodies. And then we sent it off into the universe.”

REEL DEAL: Hugh Laurie From “HOUSE” To “TOMORROWLAND”

Best known to audiences as the eccentric Dr. Gregory House from the hit TV series “House,” Hugh Laurie is back in the big screen as a brilliant, but pragmatic scientist, in Walt Disney Pictures' mystery adventure “Tomorrowland.”

Laurie plays David Nix who views life as an endless quest to accumulate and develop knowledge. Nix has no patience with dreamers, visionaries and optimists; preferring the concrete, indisputable answers that only pure science delivers.

REEL DEAL: Britt Robertson, Bound To A Place Called “TOMORROWLAND”

From “Dan in Real Life” to TV's “Life Unexpected” to “The Longest Ride,” young actress Britt Robertson has captivated audiences with memorable performances. She takes all that one notch higher as she plays Casey Newton, an optimistic teen with boundless scientific curiosity, in Disney's riveting mystery adventure “Tomorrowland.”

Growing up watching NASA space launches in person, Casey dreams of being an astronaut. But with Cape Canaveral shutting down and her engineer father out of work because of it, Casey sees her dream slipping away. Casey is driven to fight the bland acceptance of a diminished future, to do big things—and she won’t take no for an answer.
