As the resident theme park reporter here at CinemaBlend I’ve been lucky enough to visit Disneyland more than a few times. As such, there is little that I haven’t done in the iconic theme park, but one thing on my bucket list is visiting Club 33. The exclusive club is off-limits unless you pay an expensive membership fee or get invited in, but it looks like everybody who can afford a movie ticket may get a taste of the spot, as a Club 33 movie is in development.
THR reports that Darren Lempke, the writer behind films including Shazam! and the recent Kung Fu Panda 4 , is currently working on the script for a movie based on, and in, Disneyland’s Club 33. The story will focus on Kim, a young aspiring detective who is invited to Club 33. This version of the club will exist outside of time and will be made up of members who are among the greatest people from throughout history.
Shortly after Kim arrives, a murder is committed, and solving the crime falls on her. The film is being produced by Shawn Levy , and there’s a definite Night at the Museum vibe to the Club 33 movie premise. That’s not a bad thing, as this setup could be quite a fun family movie that will be far more accessible than the actual location.
A Club 33 movie is certainly a surprising choice all things considered. When Disney turns rides into movies, the plan isn’t just to make money at the box office off a popular attraction, but also to entice people into Disney Parks to experience that attraction. A C.
