Yesterday, Mickey Mouse’s Steamboat Willie joined the world of public domain. And less than 36 hours after that we found out he is going to be the star in not one but two Horror movies.
The first one, Mickey’s Mouse Trap, is slated to come out in March. And it already has a trailer.
It’s Alex’s 21st Birthday, but she’s stuck at the amusement arcade on a late shift so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse decides to play a game of his own with them which she must survive.
The film’s Director, Jamie Bailey, said in a press release, “We just wanted to have fun with it all. I mean it’s Steamboat Willie’s Mickey Mouse murdering people. It’s ridiculous. We ran with it and had fun doing it and I think it shows”
And as you can see, they did. And he is not the only ones. Steven LaMorte, who directed The Mean One which was a scary take on the Grinch, is set to direct his own take of Steamboat Willie. The Horror Comedy is described as “a sadistic mouse will torment a group of unsuspecting ferry passengers.”
Production is expected to start this Spring.
Poor Mickey Mouse. Hopefully, Winnie the Pooh is there to comfort him.
