Disney is working on a film based on the grad nights at the Disney parks.
Disney is reportedly developing a Disneyland Grad Nite movie, based on the long-running tradition wherein high school students get the entire theme park to themselves on the night after graduation. On celebrity magician Penn Jillette’s podcast, “Penn’s Sunday School,” actor and comedian David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer) revealed that Disney is developing a movie based on the yearly Disneyland staple, Grad Nite. Wain told Jillette: “Somebody sent me a thing — Disney wants to do a thing where kids are stuck in Disney World on grad school night, and it’s like a teen [movie].”
Skyler Shuler: Seeing a lot of reports regarding Disney doing a Grad Nite Movie. Two things, one is this project is *not* a priority for Disney, two this would end up on Disney’s streaming service.
