When Disney lost the rights to 1928’s Steamboat Willie, the precursor to Mickey Mouse, we knew we were in for a ride. When Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain in 2022, it was announced, almost a day after, that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was coming to a screen near you. Yes, our beloved characters from the 1,000-acre woods were being turned into savage serial killers.
I mean, why not right?
So as foreseen in episode 5 of the Geeky a Go Go Podcast, now that Steamboat Willie is in the public domain, we’re in for a horror treat. That’s right folks. Screamboat is coming to theaters in 2025 from the producers of Terrrifier 2 and The Mean One.
So what will this piece of cinematic gold be about? Well according to IMDB.com, a late-night boat ride turns into a desperate fight for survival in New York City when a mischievous mouse becomes a monstrous reality. Can a motley crew survive a killer creature with a taste for tourists?
As someone who took the Staten Island Ferry almost every day for almost ten years, I can tell you that pretty much any ride after midnight can be swirled into that synopsis.
While we await the first trailer, here’s the Blood and Honey 2 trailer (yes there is a sequel) to give you a glimpse into what we’ll possibly see.
Are you looking forward to seeing this dark version of Steamboat Willie torture and taunt the passengers of this ferry? Let us know in the comments below
