Hugh Laurie to play villain of Tomorrowland

The Doctor wants you to take your medicine, George!

Former limping TV doc Hugh Laurie (“House”) is in the running to play the big bad in Highly-anticipated sci-Fi film “Tomorrowland”, from director Brad Bird, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

This ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’-esque film, set in the ’50s, is set to star George Clooney; not much else is known about this ‘humans searching for extraterrestrials on Earth’ story (but the title suggests it might be based on the Disneyland attraction).

Bird (“Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol”) already has two great stars in Clooney and Laurie, so this sounds like one that’ll be worth catching.
