Hidden above Disneyland’s iconic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction lies the exclusive and enigmatic Club 33. This members-only oasis is a known haunt for industry insiders, celebrities, and their fortunate friends. Now, Disney is turning the mystique of Club 33 into a tantalizing whodunnit mystery film, embracing the long history of transforming its beloved park attractions into cinematic adventures.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming film will be produced by the illustrious Shawn Levy, alongside Dan Levine and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps Entertainment, and the script will be penned by Darren Lemke, known for “Goosebumps”. The atmospheric pitch promises a mix of “Clue” and “Night at the Museum” with hints of “Knives Out.” Imagine that delightful blend unfolding in the unique, historic setting of Club 33.
The film’s plot will center around Kim, an aspiring young detective from present-day New York. She’s whisked away to the timeless and exclusive Club 33, a dining club that exists outside of the usual constraints of time and space. This club boasts an impressive roster of members from history’s geniuses, royalty, and luminaries – the type of dinner guests who never fail to spark curiosity and drama.
Once inside, Kim’s visit to this otherworldly club takes an unexpected turn when a murder occurs. Suddenly, our brilliant yet self-doubting detective is thrust into action, needing to solve the crime amidst some of history’s most formidable minds. It’s a thriller promising suspense, wit, and the rich tapestry of Disney’s narrative finesse, perhaps even connecting to the wider Society of Adventurers and Explorers folklore that runs through many Disney attractions.
We can’t help but speculate on casting choices and thematic elements: would the magnetic Ayo Edebiri as Kim bring a vibrant energy to the film? The potential of Disney’s timey-wimey magic, especially with Doctor Who under its banner now, raises the stakes and excitement.
