Light Speed (Disney).

Hey,

Terry Rossio and Bill Marsilii’s space adventure script Light Speed was purchased by Disney and Bruckheimer. The story has racing, interstellar traveling and War.

Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films have purchased Terry Rossio and Bill Marsilii’s space adventure script Light Speed for a low-seven figures against $3.5 million. Meaning, if the film gets made, they get a lot more money. Bruckheimer envisions the project as a live-action and possible 3D movie.

Story centers on a young pilot who makes the Earth Interstellar Racing Team and must take his ship on a perilous journey across the galaxy on the brink of war.

The writers previously worked together on Deju-Vu, but Terry Rossio is better known as he’s one of the key people behind the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and he came up with the story for the second National Treasure movie. No word if the Millennium Falcon’s is being used.

Enjoy.

Is this independent work (the script), or was it based on other work (book, comic, etc.)?

[Lord_Stewie]

I think the premise is independent work. But definitely the idea of it is based of a combinations of other stories, books, and comics for sure.

My first thought was, "If we're following Pirates' lead, why not corporately brand it as a Space Mountain movie?"--
And my second thought was that it might have probably started out that way.

Wait a minute.

Light Speed?

How the heck is he going to make his perilous journey across the galaxy at only 186,000 miles per second? It takes light 4.2 years to reach its next nearest solar neighbor Proxima Centauri.

Yea, and the stars have a bit of a 'blue shift' to them also.
