Development
On June 23, 2021, it was reported that Walt Disney Pictures was developing a new film based on the attraction, with Scarlett Johansson starring and producing the project through her production company, These Pictures, alongside Jonathan Lia, while Josh Cooley will write the script. The Hollywood Reporter indicated that it was unclear whether Johansson was set to star in the film.

In July 2021, Johansson filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging a stipulation in her contract was breached as a result of the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Widow, in which she starred and executive-produced, being released on Disney+ Premier Access in addition to a theatrical release. The lawsuit stated that the film's release exempted Disney from paying "very large box office bonuses" Johansson would have reportedly been entitled to. Outlets such as Variety noted that the lawsuit could potentially limit the actress’s willingness to collaborate on future Disney movies, including Tower of Terror. In September 2021, Johansson and Disney settled, with both parties revealing that the film is still moving forward.
