Disney To Adapt Iconic ‘Fantasia’ Sequence Into Live-Action Movie (Exclusive)
Disney is conjuring up a live-action movie based on the “Night on Bald Mountain” sequence from the studio’s animated classic Fantasia.
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless will write the script for the project — which is in early development at the studio — based on the 1940’s animated film. The hot writing duo is also executive producing the film.
The “Night on Bald Mountain” section of Fantasia centered on a dark winged creature who raised spirits from the dead. They dance, fly through the air and enjoy an night of mayhem until they fade away as the night ends and the sun begins to rise.
