A new nightmare life awaits Disney characters. After Winnie the Pooh and soon Peter Pan or even Bambi, Mickey Mouse also becomes a bloodthirsty killer. It’s in the middle of the movie Screamboat, a parody homage to Steamboat Willie, one of the first shorts to feature a mouse in 1928.
This remake was made by Stephen Lamort. The director promises a “love letter to the character” and reveals to the media Indiewire :”The story of the night ferry crossing to New York, where sailors and all ordinary passengers are attacked by a murderous and evil mouse, who is mean, small and loves mischief..”
The director promises the filmbloody“,”Gore“and even”fervent“. The first trailer – see above – has been released online. It’s a teaser, so it’s hard to see the mouse in action. But for the most curious, Stephen Lamort reveals that the creature was imagined by Quantum Creation FX and will be 100% real, without any visual effects. .
“The Really Crazy Murders”
“Because of its size, the film has some really crazy kills that were quite difficult to pull offThe director explains. Some scenes will definitely lead to awkward conversations with my mom when I have to explain to her how we did it.“
David Howard Thornton, star of the Terrifier trilogy, who lends his features to the terrifying Art Clown, is in the cast of this film. His role is still unknown.
What is the reaction at Disney?
What does Disney think of these parody horror movies? In fact, they have nothing to say. The Mickey Mouse character entered the public domain on January 1, 2024. Since then, the world-renowned firm has held the rights to the short film Steamboat Willie, allowing a few clever people to unleash their imaginations.
The character of Peter Pan has also entered the public domain, which explains its production Peter Pan’s Neverland NightmareA terrifying adaptation of James Matthew Barry’s work, scheduled for release in 2025.
Screamboat is expected in US theaters in 2025. There are no plans for a French release at this time.
