That's also true. I wouldn't be surprised if Bond is the plan for if they can get the rights, but if that falls through we get Bourne.Counter-counterpoint: But Waterworld flopped and flopped HARD, yet the show has been around for 22 years. Bourne is still a recognizable name that will draw some attention, and if the show is even 1/2 as good as Waterworld it won't matter what it's based off of. And if they manage to snag Bond, it means it will be a bigger draw.
I don't think this project is meant to push the gate count up significantly. It's there to improve their offerings and replace an aging show.

Counterpoint: Waterworld is (from what I've heard) an amazing show, but it was made around the same time as the movie so they didn't know that it'd be a flop. Meanwhile basing a brand new 2019 attraction off the Bourne franchise would be like Disney making a big new show based off... Bolt, or something. It just seems off.
Wouldn't there be more limitations on what they can do indoors with a stunt show vs. an outdoor one? I know T2 had some stunts but not really that many.
I completely forgot that that attraction exists. Point taken.Tron

So it's Jason Bourne doing Wicked songs a capella.Ok, let's disect the given info.
"An all new, live action experience based on a high energy Universal franchise."
The phrase "live action" doesn't have anything to do with "action". It means actors.
They specifically said Universal property, not Illumination or DreamWorks, so Sing and Shrek seem out. Bourne, Pitch Perfect, and Wicked are all Universal. Wicked isn't what I would call "high energy" and it's not a franchise. And "high energy" doesn't sound very Bourne either. That leave us with Pitch Perfect and.... OK, I'm at a loss as to more "high energy" Universal franchises.

An action movie doesn't seem "high energy"? :saywhat:
Remember the film version of "Wicked" is set for Christmas, 2019 so I doubt they'd do the stage showOk, let's disect the given info.
