"Mickey Mouse Turns Sinister in Public Domain Horror Film Debut"

Director Steven LaMorte announced the production of a horror movie featuring Mickey Mouse as the villain, coinciding with the character's "Steamboat Willie" iteration entering the public domain. LaMorte's film will begin production in New York City in the spring, aiming to offer an age-appropriate re-engagement with the beloved Disney mascot for adults. This follows a similar move by directors Jamie Bailey and Simon Phillips, who released a trailer for their own Mickey Mouse horror film, "Mickey's Mouse Trap." LaMorte is developing a legal strategy to differentiate his character from Disney's current Mickey Mouse designs and plans to release the movie by the end of the year.

"Mickey Mouse Turns Terrifying as 'Steamboat Willie' Enters Public Domain, Inspiring New Horror Film and Game"

Director-producer Steven LaMorte, along with the producers of Terrifier 2, has announced a new horror film inspired by Steamboat Willie, the earliest version of Mickey Mouse, which has recently entered the public domain. The film will depict a nightmarish scenario where a boat ride in New York City turns into a survival horror experience. This announcement follows the release of a trailer for another horror film, Mickey's Mouse Trap, and a new indie horror video game, Infestation 88. While Steamboat Willie is now public domain, Disney has clarified that it will continue to protect its rights in the more modern versions of Mickey Mouse. The trend of reimagining classic characters in horror genres is growing, as seen with the recent release of Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey.
