Director Justin Simien teases the Haunted Mansion reboot could feature multiple ghost-filled locations aside from the eponymous Disneyland ride.
Despite already dealing with multiple spirits in one place, Justin Simien teases the Haunted Mansion reboot could feature multiple ghost-filled locations. Rosario Dawson and Owen Wilson are leading the ensemble cast of the upcoming Disneyland ride adaptation alongside Lakeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, Chase W. Dillon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto, Hasan Minhaj, Dan Levy and Winona Ryder.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While speaking with Entertainment Weekly for their Summer Movie Preview, Justin Simien offered some new details for the upcoming Haunted Mansion reboot movie. In explaining the creation of the titular house, the director teased that the film may actually feature multiple ghost-filled locations, even if the story is "firmly planted" in the New Orleans setting.
You really do meet the mansion the way you would as a guest at the park: through the eyes of a new cast exploring the lore along with you. The script firmly plants it in the New Orleans mansion. That's not to say there are not other mansions in the movie. [We looked at Eddie Murphy’s Haunted Mansion for how we could] go awry.
Will Haunted Mansion Become The Next Pirates of the Caribbean? Given the film is said to follow a team of paranormal experts being recruited to exorcise the ghosts inhabiting the location, it seems likely Simien's tease of multiple ghost-filled locations for Haunted Mansion could come from establishing the ensemble group of characters.
The other possibility for Simien's tease could be the Haunted Mansion reboot setting up future sequels with the central team going on to continue working together to clear out other ghost-filled locations. Disney previously found success expanding a theme park ride into a full movie franchise with the Johnny Depp-led Pirates of the Caribbean, which has both a sixth movie and a Margot Robbie-led spinoff languishing in development hell.
