As you know, Disney’s Haunted Mansion reboot is inspired by the classic Disneyland ride. Eddie Murphy’s version (2003) got a dismal 31% on Rotten Tomatoes and a critic score of just 14%. Ouch. Will this reboot find success where Eddie’s failed? 

The movie is about Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her son, Travis (Chase Dillon), who get ‘spiritual experts’ to help rid their home of supernaturals. Those ‘experts’ are Owen Wilson, Danny De Vito and LaKeith Stanfield.

I think you know what to expect.

But wait. There’s Tiffany Haddish, Chase W. Dillon, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto too? Count me in.

Filmmaker Justin Simien said, “As a lifelong fan of the Haunted Mansion attraction, I’m beyond excited to share the teaser trailer for our new film adaptation featuring an incredible cast. Our team has worked tirelessly to create a scary, funny and cinematic otherworldly adventure for both new and die-hard fans to enjoy! I can’t wait for audiences to experience this big screen version of the iconic Disney attraction.”

The ‘Haunted Mansion’ hits theatres on July 28, 2023.

Which Disney classic should they reboot next? Or, na? Let’s leave that alone.
