We probably should all have seen this step coming given Disney’s recent history of turning its animated back catalogue into source material for live-action films. The company is targeting Fantasia sequence Night On Bald Mountain as a potential new movie.
Dracula Untold writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless are tackling the challenge of turning the roughly 11-minute sequence (which you can see above) into a dark fantasy adventure. They’ll be using the Maleficent model of filling in some backstory for the dark, winged creature who raises spirits from the dead for a night of mayhem before they start to fade in the light of the rising sun.
The original 1940s animated outing used Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky music, composed in 1867 and arranged by Leopold Stokowski for the film, which brought the music to wider audiences.
This one is still in the early development stages, so it likely has a few years to go before it hits screens, assuming the pair can crack the idea. The writers’ next gig is The Last Witch Hunter, which they wrote with Cory Goodman, and arrives here on November 6. As for Disney’s animated-to-live-action output? The latest title from that batch will be Wonderland sequel Alice Through The Looking Glass, due in the UK on May 27 next year.
