Disney takes us back to the Haunted Mansion in the first trailer for the upcoming live-action movie.
The cast features many of Hollywood’s elite, including Tiffany Haddish (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent), Lakeith Stanfield (Knives Out), Owen Wilson (“Loki”), Rosario Dawson (Clerks III), and Danny DeVito (Always Sunny in Philidelphia”). Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween Ends) will play the role of Madame Leota, and Jared Leto (Morbius) will appear as the Hatbox Ghost.
Justin Simien (Dear White People, Bad Hair), directed from the script by Katie Dippold (Ghostbusters 2016), based on the iconic Disney ride.
“In this mysterious adventure, a doctor (Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Chase Dillon), looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (Stanfield), a French Quarter psychic (Haddish) and a crotchety historian (DeVito).”
Haunted Mansion opens in theaters on July 28, 2023. Judging by the trailer, this movie will be darker and spookier than the Haunted Mansion movies we’ve seen before.
