Night on Bald Mountain

Quote:

Disney is developing a movie based on the iconic “Night on Bald Mountain” closing sequence from the 1940 animated pic “Fantasia” for its latest live-action adaptation. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless will write the screenplay and executive produce the movie, which is still in early development. The classic animated film “Fantasia” was comprised of eight musical segments, including “Night on Bald Mountain,” which centered on a winged creature that raised the dead. Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky created the music in 1867, and it was arranged by Leopold Stokowski for the film. The sequence was animated by Vadimir Tytla and had one of the longest shots ever produced in a multi-plane camera. This will be the studio’s latest live-action reimagining of an animated hit. Disney has already struck box office gold with “Alice in Wonderland,” whose sequel “Alice Through the Looking Glass” is slated for 2016, “Maleficent” and “Cinderella.” Live-action versions of “Beauty and the Beast,” starring Emma Watson, “The Jungle Book,” “Mulan,” “Dumbo,” “Winnie the Pooh,” and “Tinker Bell,” with Reese Witherspoon, are all in the works.
