Disney fans, brace yourselves for an incredible cinematic journey like never before! The legendary, elusive Club 33 at Disneyland—known for its aura of exclusivity and intrigue—is set to dazzle the big screen with a thrilling murder mystery.
Darren Lemke, celebrated screenwriter of “Goosebumps” and “Shazam,” has been enlisted to pen a “Club 33” film that promises to blend the enchantment of Disneyland’s New Orleans Square with a suspense-filled storyline. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie’s backstory brings a youthful detective into the heart of this secretive dining club to unravel a homicide, surrounded by a cast of iconic historical figures—all potential suspects!
The project, directed by Shawn Levy of “Deadpool & Wolverine” fame, and produced under his 21 Laps Entertainment banner (the genius team behind “Stranger Things” and “Night at the Museum”), aims to capture the whimsical yet mysterious tone reminiscent of both “Clue” and the adventurous museum escapades we’ve come to love. Are you as excited as we are?
For those unfamiliar with Club 33, let us take a brief stroll through its illustrious history. Inspired by the luxurious VIP lounges at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Walt Disney envisioned a haven for elite guests. Opened posthumously in 1967, membership at this club requires a steep entrance fee nearing $25,000 and annual dues running $10,000. Esteemed personalities like Tom Hanks, Christina Aguilera, and Elton John are rumored members, adding to the club’s allure.
Transitioning Disneyland attractions into blockbuster hits has proven a mixed bag for Disney; while “Pirates of the Caribbean” became a goldmine with its $4.5 billion box office pull, movies like “Haunted Mansion” and “Mission to Mars” didn’t quite hit the mark. With “Club 33,” Disney aims to weave a timeless tale that captivates audiences old and new, ensuring its legacy endures both in the parks and at the theaters.
