Scarlett Johansson Gives ‘Tower of Terror’ Update: “Hard Nut To Crack”


Four years later, Scarlett Johansson is still stuck in the Twilight Zone while trying to figure out her 'Tower of Terror' update.

Despite the 1997 Wonderful World of Disney movie starring Kirsten Dunst, Johansson explained the ride “doesn’t have so much to dig into” in terms of a film narrative, noting the brief story works better for the spooky theme park attraction. Opening in 1994 at Disney World, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is set in the same universe as the iconic Rod Serling series, following five people—an actor, a singer, a child star, her nanny and a hotel bellhop—who take the elevator at the Hollywood Tower Hotel and are transported to the Twilight Zone when lightning strikes the building. MacHale, the 1997 film adaptation had no connection to The Twilight Zone, starring Steve Guttenberg as a journalist who investigates the 1939 vanishing depicted in the ride, with the help of his niece (Dunst).
