The short film that introduced Mickey Mouse to the world, 1928’s Steamboat Willie entered the public domain this year, and the upcoming Screamboat turns the tale into a nightmare.

From the production teams behind Terrifier 2 and The Mean One, Screamboat is coming to theaters in 2025 via Iconic Events Releasing, with Terrifier, Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton (“Art the Clown”) playing the film’s twisted version of Steamboat Willie.

Director Steven LaMorte tells the outlet that the film’s version of Steamboat Willie is “a 100 percent in-camera practical creature,” with both a puppet and a costume being used.

In Screamboat, “A mischievous mouse stalks a group of New Yorkers on a late night ferry ride, unleashing murderous mayhem on a relaxing commute. Can the ship’s motley crew of travelers find a way to stop a killer creature who has developed a taste for tourists?”
