New Haunted Mansion Movie In The Works
No, it doesn't star Eddie Murphy! In fact, this could be really exciting news:

"SAN DIEGO, Calif. – July 22, 2010 –Guillermo del Toro surprised the 6,500 fans gathered today at Comic-Con with the announcement that he is currently developing a new film for The Walt Disney Studios based on the classic Disney theme park attraction, The Haunted Mansion.
“Dark imagery is an integral part of the Walt Disney legacy. After all, Disney himself was the father of some really chilling moments and characters - think Chernabog from Fantasia or Maleficent as the Dragon or the Evil Queen in Snow White,” said del Toro. “I couldn't be more excited to be a part of my own adaptation of the original theme park attraction Walt envisioned and that remains- for me- the most desirable piece of real
estate in the whole world!"
“Millions of people from around the world visit The Haunted Mansion each year, but no one has ever had a tour guide like Guillermo del Toro,” said Rich Ross, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. “Guillermo is one of the most gifted and innovative filmmakers working today and he is going to take audiences on a visually-thrilling journey like they’ve never experienced before.”
Since August 1969, foolish mortals have dared to trespass on the macabre grounds of Disney’s Haunted Mansion. A hallowed landmark in Disneyland’s New Orleans square, it’s the dwelling place of 999 happy haunts dying to meet new visitors each day. The plantation-style of the mansion’s facade is a sweet deception for visitors. Inside, ghostly doom buggies line the hallways. Since its construction, the mysteries of the mansion have transcended the attraction with stories surfacing about horrifying encounters with the supernatural. Versions of the daunting edifice have been built at other Disney theme parks in Orlando, Tokyo and Paris."

Re: New Haunted Mansion Movie In The Works
I have high hopes for this since they are keeping to the storyline of the ride itself. What I WOULD love to see is a movie on Phantom Manor. The story for that ride is one I love a lot.

Re: New Haunted Mansion Movie In The Works
Alright! A second chance to screw it up even worse than the first!
I hope not, because I'm such a big HM fan. Like elizabethswann, I think they're missing the boat on doing a film based on the Phantom Manor.
Hmmmmmmm, we could have the Haunted Mansion and Dark Shadows coming out about the same time. Two gothic ghost story films about ghostly brides. Nothing like redundancy...

Re: New Haunted Mansion Movie In The Works
Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there. I liked the parts that made me think of the ride, the rest was just poopy!Amy wrote:I liked the mansion itself in the movie...the rest was just pretty awful...sighboilerbabe wrote:Awesome!!!

Re: New Haunted Mansion Movie In The Works
The only part I liked about the HM movie was Jennifer Tilly. She's adorable.

Re: New Haunted Mansion Movie In The Works
I wish they could had her do the entire seance sequence from the ride. After all, we had the busts sing GGG briefly at one point in the film...elizabethswann wrote:The only part I liked about the HM movie was Jennifer Tilly. She's adorable.

Only worse movie about a Disney Ride was the Tower of Terror movie. I literally lost I.Q. points after watching it.
