The movie “Escape from Tomorrow” was filmed in its entirety in Disney World, without Disney knowing about it. The actors read their scripts off of cell phones to keep themselves hidden.
““Escape from Tomorrow” is in many ways your typical low-budget indie film. It’s shot in black and white, the actors aren’t famous, and the plot is surreal. There is one thing, though, that makes “Escape” completely different. The entire film was surreptitiously shot inside of Disney World. With what can only be described as generous bravado, the director, Randy Moore, bought season tickets and secretly filmed his actors at the theme park. Disney World is a major part of the plot: it’s on the “It’s a Small World” ride that the lead begins to lose his sanity; later, he is tasered and held inside Spaceship Earth, the golf-ball-esque Epcot Center icon.
New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and other news organizations have speculated that “Escape from Tomorrow” must violate Disney’s rights and that its lawyers will seek to have the film enjoined. At the Sundance Film Festival, where the film premièred this week, Moore was onstage answering questions when someone in the audience asked, roughly, “Why did you put so much work into a film that violates so many laws?”
