"It's Die Hard at Disneyland! What's not to love?"

And for those of you not well-versed in Entourage, I'm talking about Matterhorn the movie!

Okay, so not the film once slated as a star-turn for Vincent Chase. This story is about a real movie in pre-production based on the classic Disneyland attraction.



After reading the official plot synopsis on this one, I kind of wish it was the fictional script from the HBO comedy.

“A small group of young, super adventure/explorers, each with a specific skill set, are brought to the remote backcountry of the Pennine Alps under various guises for a trek across one of the planet’s remaining untouched realms. They do this with extreme skiing, snowboarding and mountaineering.”

ZZZZZZ . . . huh, wha . . . oh, are you finished reading that?
So basically they're going to stretch the ending of Vin Diesel's XXX into an entire movie?

However, then there's one little quote I saw that suddenly brings me back into the game.

“a thrilling, fast-paced movie centering on five young adventure seekers who, for mysterious reasons, are called to the top of the mountain and encounter a Yetis on the journey down.”

I'm sorry . . . excuse-moi? Did you say Yetis??? I'm in! Although I'd prefer they follow this character design for their Abominable Snowbeasts . . .


As opposed to the one you actually see on the Matterhorn attraction at Disneyland . . .



Regardless of design, I would certainly hope the Yeti(s) in the flick are a little more . . . um, kinetic (and a lot less disco!)

And either way I expect Matterhorn (which by the way doesn't even have an official title yet) to make for a better movie than The Country Bears!
