From the team behind the Terrifier movies, Iconic Events Releasing will bring Stream to theaters nationwide on August 21, 2024, and we’ve learned this week that the first teaser trailer for the upcoming horror-comedy Screamboat will debut exclusively in theaters before those screenings of Stream from August 21 – August 25.
This special preview offers the first glimpse of the twisted reimagining of Steamboat Willie, featuring David Howard Thornton, the star of the Terrifier series, as the film’s chilling lead.
Screamboat is directed by Steven LaMorte, who brings a dark and humorous twist to the earliest version of Disney’s Mickey Mouse character. The film follows a group of New Yorkers on a late-night ferry ride that turns deadly when a mischievous and murderous mouse begins a rampage, targeting unsuspecting passengers.
What starts as a relaxing commute quickly spirals into a nightmarish fight for survival.
The teaser will accompany the theatrical release of Stream, produced by Steven Della Salla, Michael Leavy, and Jason Leavy, with Naresh Peter Menezes serving as executive producer.
“I’m thrilled to unveil the first teaser for Screamboat in theaters with Stream,” said director Steven LaMorte. “Working with David Howard Thornton again has been incredible, and I can’t wait for audiences to see our mischievous take on Steamboat Willie. This teaser is just a taste of the terror and laughs to come.”
Joining Thornton in the cast of Screamboat are Allison Pittel (Stream), Amy Schumacher (The Mean One), Jesse Posey (Teen Wolf), Jesse Kove (Cobra Kai), Rumi C Jean-Louis (Hightown), and horror veterans Jarlath Conroy (George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead) and Charles Edwin Powell (The Exorcist III).
The film’s creature effects are being brought to life by Christian Beckman’s Quantum Creation FX, Inc. (The Last Voyage of the Demeter, The Book of Boba Fett), with creature design by concept artist Christian Cordella (Avatar: The Way of Water, Spider-Man: No Way Home). A mix of practical effects, miniatures, and cutting-edge virtual production will showcase the terrifying yet whimsical mouse in all his gory glory.
Screamboat is produced by Amy Schumacher, Martine Melloul, Steven LaMorte, Steven Della Salla, and Michael Leavy, with executive production by Kali Pictures, Sleight of Hand Productions, Reckless Content, and Julien Didon. The film is set for a theatrical release in 2025, distributed by Iconic Events Releasing.
In Stream, “As the Keenan’s try to bring their family closer together, they unwittingly enter themselves into a game of life or death. With four deranged killers patrolling the halls of their hotel and competing for the most creative kills, the odds are definitely stacked against them.”
