‘Screamboat 2’ Is Officially in Development By Filmmaker Steven LaMorte
As soon as Steamboat Willie entered the pubic domain on January 1, 2024, director Steven LaMorte announced that he was developing a horror-comedy parody of the iconic animated character.
With Disney now unable to protect the use of the early version of Mickey Mouse, Screamboat was born.

“Steamboat Willie has brought joy to generations, but beneath that cheerful exterior lies a potential for pure, unhinged terror,” LaMorte said in a press release. “It’s a project I’ve been dreaming of, and I can’t wait to unleash this twisted take on this beloved character to the world.”
After the film earned a respectable $393,011 in theaters earlier this year, LaMorte quickly teased that a Screamboat 2 could be on the way.

“I’m thrilled to announce the sequel to our bloody horror comedy,” he said in a statement. “We had so much fun bringing these iconic characters to life with a bloody twist, and I look forward to returning to the world of ‘Screamboat’ to create even more miniature murder and mayhem.”
This time around, it won’t just be Steamboat Willie who is out for blood.

“[The sequel] will continue the story and expand on the shocking cliffhanger ending of the first film — which teased the arrival of another murderous public-domain icon: Minnie,” the director teased.
“Fans can expect the sequel to build on that legacy with even more outrageous set pieces and gruesome comedy.”
At this time, there is no word on when the film will be released.
