he 1928 version of Mickey Mouse has entered the public domain, and indie horror producers are wasting no time in capitalising on it. Steven LaMorte is set to direct an untitled horror-comedy based on Mickey's cartoon debut. In it, a sadistic mouse will torment a group of unsuspecting ferry passengers, reports Variety. Production is set to begin in the spring. "Steamboat Willie has brought joy to generations, but beneath that cheerful exterior lies a potential for pure, unhinged terror," LaMorte said.
