Because Pirates of the Caribbean was a success and that means every movie made based on a ride is a good idea, Disney is currently prepping a film inspired by the Matterhorn ride. The adventure film is based on the toboggan-themed roller coaster that echoes the mountains of Switzerland. The attraction first opened in 1959 and spawned from an idea by Walt Disney himself. Jason Dean Hall (Spread) has been hired to write the script, with Justin Springer (Tron: Legacy) producing.Heat Vision reports that the film, which has a working title of The Hill, will be a âthrilling, fast-paced movieâ that tells the story of five kids who are mysteriously called to the top of a mountain where they encounter Yetis. If the âmysterious callingâ that brings them to the mountain is brainwashing and/or cult-like visions, Iâm totally sold. The Hill is one of a number of Disney ride-themed films in development including Guillermo del Toroâs The Haunted Mansion, Jon Favreauâs Magic Kingdom and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea which David Fincher is eyeing to direct.
