Winnie Pooh. Popeye. Steamboat Willie. These days, a character-known character mass domain, immediately becomes someone turns them into a horror movie. Why is this and what is it behind the scenes?
To get these answers, IO9 talked to Steven Lamorte. He is the co-chair and director Shelling boatA Steamboat Willie Slasher movie in the April 2 theaters. As we cover the first half of our interview, Disney is a movie that can be a love letter, but it does not come without a few advantages. To failure to be given Sue, movies like movies Shelling boat There are some simple but important rules that make a very interesting exercise in stories.
This Lamorte’s second public domain is a horror movie – he was called The middle one In 2022 – we talked about all this and more. When you follow, you can see the line between legal and “Disney lawyers are very crazy” Shelling boat 2 April. Review the interview below.
This interview was edited for length and clarity.
Germain Lussier, iO9: So you’ve been a kind of social domain movies by drawing a movie about Grinch. When did you hear this Steamboat Willie How did he come and it’s related to it?
Steven Lamorte: So after viral sensation The middle oneWe knew we had to follow a chase. I do not know what this will happen but we knew we would do anything. And I really struggled to understand what this project would happen. My wife said, “Well, don’t worry about any of the characters or thread or any of those things. What is a story that you always want to say?” I said: “Well, I always wanted to make a slasher or a secret story of a sort of great adventure or a kind of great adventure or staten island ferry.” So I said, “Let’s dust the concept of the bride and see if there is something there.”
I’m a New York City. Staten Island ferry, thousands of times, thousands of times, I went to the college I went to the school, I went back and forth. Therefore, I conducted a little research and said, “Well, what characters do these characters enter the social area?” And then it was known Steamboat Willie It was close. Thus, there is no way to allow him to enter the public. But let’s take this opinion, we will sit on the shelf, let us marinate it and see what will happen. And after the closer, the killer was really even clearer that he could be vapor Willie. Ferry History Studies, Staten Island ferry is once equipped with vapor. It’s like a perfect mess. And in the background of the world’s largest city in the world, you are worming in New York. How good can it be?
IO9: Yes, exactly. This is great. So that’s the idea, it comes together, but with something like a Disney Rope Steamboat WillieClearly, you are not the only one who sees it and noticed. And we know it’s at least one movie like this. Is this point turns into a race? Do you watch these other movies and are important if you are first? If it’s an idea, I’m interested in financing and looking for all such items.
Lamort: I do not know that a race is happening. I think you are a race if you are trying to catch click or headlines or just try to attract attention. I want to say that our goal was to do something fun and entertaining when he set off to make this movie. Something that really respects the character and does justice. Because we didn’t want to do Steamboat WillieFilm freely following design. We want to do something that is a creature that is mischievous where it is smaller, and therefore knew it will actually make and take the time to make it properly. We wanted to wait until it was entitled to the public before the start of the shooting, but we also wanted to know that we have taken the time when the effects are taking time, the time we have seen GORE.
I mean, if you’ve ever seen Corridor The film will kill a week to get it immediately. Just knowing that we do not only execute, execute it at a level with a thread justice, performed it at a level with a really entertaining theater experience, said I will take some time. Thus, it was not important for us to appear first. What was important we are really proud of what we do and what we do.
io9: What is the line? Is there anything you can legally be able to do? And how closely and in what steps are you related to the lawyers process? Also there is something you try, but maybe you can’t do it?
Lamorte: Well, I don’t want to get into something we don’t mean. Because some will surprise you. If we spend more money on the legitimate, maybe we can do it in the future. So I will not get into it. However, what is the difference between Steamboat Willie and Mickey Mouse? ” “What will the film be in the social domain since he opposed the social domain in 2024?” This is relevant. And then you really just look at him and follow the letter of the law. As we are not violating the trading brand or try to build a confusion in the market.
We do not want children to see the film. We do not want people to think that this is Mickey mouse. We do not want people to think that it is officially confirmed by any major corporation. Thus, many are simply cleaned and then focused on hyperlinks because they walk away from the rest. The range of the line is more: “Is it a loving respect? Did it change it a bit? The parody?” And where is this in a woman named Cindy in blue dress, no one can own anyone, isn’t it?
Io9: [Laughs] Right.
Lamorte: It’s a lot like this. After the Disney’s movie world, it was really easy to watch after collected in the idea that he did not exist as a concept. So at this point, no one allows you to present spirits because no one has heard of this character or this movie or this reference. And then if you’re inside and watching something, beyond the context, reference cannot make sense. But in the context of this world, “Ah, Yes, Disney”. Therefore everything is a fair game.
IO9: Oh, cool. So, to make sure, this is a legitimate in every step, but there were strong rules that are foundinally.
Lamorte: It is true. Yes. And especially this was important Medium, Many people said The middle one could not be done. I would take this movie for 10 years. This is the time to do this, as there are industry experts and abundant qualified people, “Don’t do it. You shouldn’t do it.” But I didn’t go anywhere in life by playing safely, isn’t it? So we said, “When did it take you how it works and how we can do it and make it justice?” And we are ready to put this work inside. And as a result, we were forced to adhere to the source material going on our goal in our goal. Thus, the instructions were not limited to a reminder to stick to the scenario.
io9: Gotcha. Now this can be something open, but I still wonder what your view is. When a character enters a public domain, why instinct is immediate a generation slasher horror movie is just because we know 180 degrees? Talk to me a little as you think we see so much today.
Lamorte: Well, I think that there is a lot of independent manufacturers to move these characters towards these parts. You can say, from a point of view, there is always money to do in horror, doesn’t it? If you are an independent film, you can attack two boys in the woods you can attack a snake monster or two boys in the woods, you can be attacked by something they hear. This is the recognition of the brand, isn’t it? Many people say they want the original stories, but when a character is unknown, it creates a factor of interest. Mike Jones does not have a marketing budget to teach Mike Jones, which helps to differentiate the independent film. But “Indiana Jones” helps someone’s chance of this person and maybe sell your movie.
But in my point of view, it’s so much willie, Mickey Mouse, like these characters, this nostalgia. We have this relationship. It’s an early love. However, this Steamboat Willie content is not much directed to an old audience. I don’t watch the cartoons, I really love the horror movies and terrible, surprising, perhaps a little shock, perhaps a little Risqué, I can take something that combines with a little Risqué, and now I put them together. “The nostalgia reacted in me.
And I do not think that there are adults who see Mickey Mouse or Steamboat Willie in a theme park that does not want to hug a hug. David Howard Thornton, when the costume first came out in the suit, he has teeth, and the blood is like four feet with hat and giant ears. And he, “Well, what do you want to do first?” I “You hug me, you will hug me, I want to squeeze you!” He is just so cute. Teeth and claws, eyes black.
Deam means David’s super beautiful. But when the sun passed through the door, the sun shone behind him, and you are “God, this is a six-foot monster.” And he was just fluffy and furry and that he was as beautiful that he began to hang the crew. I’m like, “Children should start charging for these pictures. We need to hit the movie as we burn in time.” Therefore, I think it’s horrible, of course, there is a financial side. But I think we love the horror, we love these characters and hits the nostalgia differently. Horror is such a fun way to re-contact with anything you love.
