Margot Robbie teaming up with Disney for movie based on Disneyland ride

Margot Robbie is teaming up with Disney for a film based on one of the company's most iconic theme park properties.

The Harley Quinn actress is signed up to produce a movie based on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a mine train-style coaster.

Robbie's company LuckyChap Entertainment will be working with Sir Ridley Scott's Scott Free to bring this timeless attraction to the big screen

Even though the project is at an early stage, Disney is looking at Hawkeye and Our Flag Means Death filmmaking duo Bert and Bertie to direct from a script from Power Rangers.

The story idea has been kept a closely-held secret but more could be revealed at Disney's D23 convention in Anaheim next month.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened at Disneyland in 1979, the work of visionary Imagineer Tony Baxter.
