Tomorrowland, in which George plays a grizzled inventor called Frank Walker, is already being touted as one of the big releases for 2015. It co-stars Hugh Laurie as a baddie called David Nix and 23-year-old Britt Robertson as the movie's young heroine.
The big budget blockbuster shares its name with the futuristic themed lands found at Disney's various theme parks.

Filming for the movie has already taken place since the end of last year in the US, Canada and the UK, while currently filming is taking place in Valencia, Spain.
Director Brad Bird, who was responsible for Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol and The Incredibles, has also been scouting locations for the movie in Paris, according to his Twitter feed.
Disney's synopsis of the new movie is ' 'Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor jaded by disillusionment embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory as Tomorrowland.'

52-year-old George's next movie in cinemas is World War II comedy/drama The Monuments Men which co-stars Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman.
It hits UK cinemas on February 21, two weeks after its US debut.
Meanwhile after his drubbing from Golden Globes hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, George says he is already masterminding how he should go about getting revenge. After all, just hours earlier the Up In The Air actor told E! he wasn't too happy with the host's jibe that he didn't like being around women his own age.
But the GQ cover boy already has a clue what he'll do.

'I got a little surprise for Tina Fey,' he told E!'s Guiliana Rancic.'Oh, I've been working on it. She might have poked the bear with the stick.'
Tina took her swipe at the salt-and-pepper hunk while talking about his film Gravity, which co-stars Sandra Bullock, aged 49.
"[It's] the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age,' said the former Saturday Night Live star.

The jibe got one of the biggest laughs of the night from audience members that included the actor's friends Julia Roberts and Matt Damon.
The Kentucky native got the news about Sunday's Globes put-down after it had already aired.
'I didn't get to see it live, I was in Vancouver hanging off of a wire about 30 feet up in the air,' George told E! 'But by the time I got down off of the wire [the joke] was already around the set.'
