Margot Robbie is teaming up with Disney for a film based on one of the company's most iconic theme park properties.
The Harley Quinn actress is signed up to produce a movie based on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a mine train-style coaster that takes riders through the base of a canyon during an earthquake.
According to TheWrap, Robbie's company LuckyChap Entertainment will be working with Sir Ridley Scott's Scott Free to bring this timeless attraction to the big screen.
Even though the project is at an early stage, Disney is looking at Hawkeye and Our Flag Means Death filmmaking duo Bert and Bertie to direct from a script from Power Rangers' Kieran and Michele Mulroney.
The story idea has been kept a closely-held secret but more could be revealed at Disney's D23 convention in Anaheim next month.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened at Disneyland in 1979, the work of visionary Imagineer Tony Baxter. The attraction was one of the first intense coasters ever in a Disney park.
The ride has become so beloved that other versions of Big Thunder have subsequently opened at the Magic Kingdom in Florida as well as in Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
The general backstory of the ride, though it does vary from park to park, is that Big Thunder was a mountain where miners struck gold but their findings come at a cost when the ground starts to shake.
Disney has been turning to more of its theme park attractions in recent years. Dwayne Johnson's Jungle Cruise was a solid hit last year, with a sequel in the works.
There are also films in the works based on The Haunted Mansion – starring Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish – and Marvel star Scarlett Johansson is adapting the Tower of Terror from Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida.
