TLK Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Emma Stone was supposed to star in the last GDT movie but she had to drop out because of Spidey 2 promos. I am betting that she will star opposite Gosling in this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 If I were to put my trust in anyone to make a good PG-rated haunted house movie, it's del Toro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Easily one of my most anticipated films. Del Toro will hit a home run with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movies!movies! Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/haunted-mansion-movie-in-the-works-with-writer-katie-dippold-exclusive Quote Disney is building a new Haunted Mansion. Katie Dippold, perhaps best known for writing the recent Ghostbusters reboot and hit comedy The Heat, is writing a feature based on the popular ride for Burbank-based studio. Rideback, the banner run by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich and was behind Disney’s billion dollar-grossing Aladdin remake, is producing what is intended to be a live-action movie. The Haunted Mansion debuted in 1969 and was an immediate success. The premise sees theme park guests go inside a spooky and creepy manor that has a wide array of supernatural frights. It also featured a graveyard’s worth of characters, ranging from the spirit of psychic medium Madame Leota to the skeletal Bride to the cloaked Hatbox Ghost. Disney previously adapted the ride into a 2003 movie directed by Rob Minkoff and starring Eddie Murphy. The project took a broad approach to the material. The studio since has tried to reimagine the feature adaptation with Guillermo del Toro serving as co-writer and producer. The trick with Haunted Mansion for Disney has always been the fine line balance of genuine scares, fun, and appropriate for the wide Disney audience. Disney did exactly that when it first translated Pirates of the Caribbean to the screen in 2003. The movie launched a multi-billion dollar franchise and made execs look inward to see what other attractions could work as movies. It took some development, but next year finally brings Jungle Cruise to the screen. The movie, scheduled to hit theatres July 30, stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. Dippold was a writer on Parks and Recreation before seguing into movies, scoring a hit with The Heat, the 2013 action comedy that starred Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. She worked on the all-female reboot of 2016’s Ghostbusters, combining laughs and scares, and also wrote Snatched, the action comedy that starred Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Reminds me that Gosling was gonna star in that GDT Haunted Mansion movie that never happened. Wonder if Disney will be able to get him back on board for this like Hanks initially passing on Pinocchio only to come back and sign on depending on who they get to direct.

Eric the Clown Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just let GDT do his thing. Let him make a fun haunted house movie, put in some cool creature designs, and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I bet Haddish and Stanfield might play adult versions of the son and daughter of Eddie Murphy's character from the first film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Filming is supposed to begin next month so I imagine this is being fast-tracked for next Halloween. Guessing we'll be getting a big wave of Disney release date announcements for their next batch of projects on the horizon (The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Lion King prequel) in the upcoming weeks.

Eric the Clown Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 At the very least, it's good to know the supporting cast is just as memorable as the 2003 film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
