Disney's action adventure Tomorrowland is hitting our screens this week with a radical idea - that there's more to life (and cinema) than doom and gloom.

Digital Spy sat down with director Brad Bird, writer-producer Damon Lindelof and star Britt Robertson to discuss the making of a film that looks forward to mankind's bright and shiny future.
