Just remember, you heard it hear first. You can't get breaking hot buzz like this on any other website or blog.......
Disney CEO Bob Iger (who shares
everything with BQ, ever since I threatened a fanboy meltdown on his planned but aborted hip-hop musical version of "The Black Hole"), shared this big story:
Yes, it's on a fast track for Christmas 2024......
STEAMBOAT WILLIE....a 200 million dollar budgeted Live Action, special effects laden remake of Walt Disney's classic animated black-and-white short!
To be directed by recent Sundance Film Festival sensation Shmendrick Handheld, whose 6,000 dollar shot-on-cellphone indie "Chloe Shaves Her Legs" took the special 'Filmmaker To Watch And Then Ignore' annual award.........
Currently in talks to join the project.......an A-List all-star cast........
Christian Bale as Steamboat Willie........Bale has already begun the process of losing close to 150 pounds to play the plucky little rodent.
Dave Bautista as Captain Pete........yes, the mighty wrestler turned actor will play Steamboat Willie's dangerous employer with serious anger management issues........
Lupita Nyong'o as Minnie Mouse........thereby making the new, improved 'Steamboat Willie' instantly 'woke' and relevant to today.......(as well as deliberately aggravating legions of Twitter trolls living in their parents' basements.....)
No less than 325 Third World special effects companies have already been sub-contracted by Disney to toil on the film, with a combined total of 243,000 digital artists, who'll work 24/7 for the next 4 years to bring Willie's wondrous world to semi-realistic life......
(Rumor's true.....it will be the first film whose closing credit crawl will feature an intermission for bathroom and snack breaks......)
Pre-poduction has begun, with principal shooting to begin next January in New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, the South Pole, Jamaica, Canada, Pinewood Studios and 2 days at Fat Johnny's Gumbo 'n Ribs Emporium outside of New Orleans........
BQ'll share more details as they come in........remember to mention to everyone where you got this ultra-hot scoop!
