Just announced today: Disney and Guillermo del Toro are joining forces for a new film based on the ever popular ride, The Haunted Mansion.
Rich Ross, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, had this to say:
“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. 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."
From Guillermo:
“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. 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!"
Every time I ride The Haunted Mansion I wish they had made a great film out of it. Looks like that wish might just come true!
