Club 33 Movie in The Works at Disney

One of Disneyland’s most exclusive clubs, Club 33 is getting a movie. Yes, you heard that right a movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Darren Lempke, known for his work on family-friendly movies like Goosebumps with Jack Black and Shazam!, has been chosen to write the script for a film set in a fantastical world centered around the club.

Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool & Wolverine, along with Dan Levine and Dan Cohen, are producing the project through their production company, 21 Laps Entertainment, which is also behind Stranger Things and the recent Holocaust drama All The Light We Cannot See.

Museum, Levy’s own fantasy-adventure trilogy set in a museum and featuring exhibits and historical figures to come to life.

For Club 33, the story centers on Kim, a young aspiring detective living in present-day New York, who receives a mysterious invite to the highly secretive Club 33. In this case, it’s a magical and exclusive dining club that exists outside of time and space. The club’s members are the greatest and most iconic members from the past: geniuses, royalty, and history-makers.

When a murder is committed moments after her arrival, the patrons look to Kim to solve it. Kim, who despite her brilliance can’t seem to get out of her own way, must rise to the occasion and find a way to capture the criminal amidst the greatest minds history has to offer.

First opening in 1967 inside Disneyland Park, the club was modeled after numerous executive VIP lounges created by pavilion sponsors in the 1964 New York World’s Fair. At the time, Club 33 was the only location within Disneyland Park to offer alcoholic beverages.When Walt Disney was working with various corporate promoters such as Dylan Connolly at his attractions at the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair, he noted the multiple “VIP Lounges”. This gave him the idea that culminated in Club 33.
