AMID their ongoing feud, Pete Davidson and Colin Jost’s $280,000 investment in a decommissioned Staten Island ferry will be used in an upcoming horror flick.
The boat, which the feuding pair plan to turn into a hotel, bar and restaurant, will soon feature in a horror movie about Steamboat Willie.
Since the two comedians bought the vessel, they have since “fallen out,” with The U.S. Sun even previously revealing that Colin refuses to even be at 30 Rock, where Saturday Night Live is taped if Pete is there.
But now, amid the feud between the pair, it has been revealed that the new horror movie Screamboat is filmed on Pete and Colin’s bright orange ferry.
The indie horror movie is a gory flick that features the original Mickey Mouse character, with TMZ reporting there was a lot of fake blood used while filming of the movie.
And apparently, there was so much blood used during the filming that they had to hire a special cleaning crew for Pete and Colin’s Staten Island ferry.
The synopsis for the movie, which is due out next year, reads, “A late-night boat ride turns into a desperate fight for survival in New York City when a mischievous mouse becomes a monstrous reality.
“Can a motley crew survive a killer creature with a taste for tourists?”
Pete and Colin’s involvement in the movie is reported to go only as far as the loaning of their ferry, with them having nothing to do with the flick itself.
AT ODDS
This comes as the comedians’ feud continues.
An insider previously told The U.S. Sun that Colin “can’t be in the same building, let alone be in the same room as Pete”, after “something big” allegedly happened.
The insider then added how “Colin doesn’t want to be associated with Pete.”

AWKWARD MEETING
But earlier this month, Pete appeared in a skit on SNL, and during this episode, Pete and Colin interacted for what seemed like the first time in a while.
Standing on opposite sides of the stage, the pair moved toward each other immediately after guest host John Mulaney made a joke while thanking Pete for his cameo.
They shook hands and parted ways before coming back together again to chat briefly.
Despite the alleged feud between the pair, a source close to the ferry deal said that everything has remained afloat.
Pete Davidson’s rehab stints
Pete Davidson has checked himself into rehab on several occasions, and for varying reasons each time.
Pete first checked into rehab in 2017 as he was diagnosed with BPD and PTSD.
In 2019, he went to the Sierra Tucson Treatment Center in Arizona.
The comedian underwent treatment at another mental health facility in June 2023.
Most recently, he checked back into rehab at the end of July 2024.
A source revealed that Pete had left the facility after only a few weeks.
An insider close to the ferry business venture downplayed rumors of a rift.
“They’re both very busy and don’t talk as much as they used to,” the insider said, adding that people simply move on.
Despite the claims swirling around the pair that things aren’t on track with their relationship, the insider said that the idea for a proposed restructuring from a decommissioned ferry to an entertainment venue remains afloat.
“Where it ends up all depends on what kind of deal they can get with the City of New York,” adding that since the partners are all from the city, they hope to keep the business there.
Meanwhile, the insider close to the business added that they are in the process of raising money for projects, but would not elaborate further.
SINKING SHIP
The duo seemingly named their project before they fell out, with them naming their business Titanic 2.
According to the company’s articles of organization, they were filed two years before the longtime Saturday Night Live friends alleged feud and fallout.
The document, which was filed on January 24, 2022, five days after they won it in an auction, lays out the basics of the business for which the decommissioned Staten Island Ferry was purchased.
Officially incorporated as Titanic 2 LLC, the company is based in New York, and the document lists accounting firm Weygandt, Nesarajah & Company as the LLC’s agent for which any process against Colin and Pete’s company may be served.
