Disney's HAUNTED MANSION Movie Gets a New Release Date
Disney’s Haunted Mansion movie has been given a new release date of August 11, 2023. It was originally supposed to hit theaters on July 28, 2023, so it’s not too much of a bump.
Justin Simien (Dear White People, Bad Hair) is directing the new movie, which is based on the popular Disney theme park attraction that’s home to 999 haunts.
The movie has a great cast that includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Rosario Dawson, and Danny DeVito star, with Jamie Lee Curtis as Madame Leota and Jared Leto as the Hatbox Ghost. Winona Ryder, Dan Levy, and Hasan Minhaj will also appear in the new movie.
Here’s the synopsis: “In this mysterious adventure, a doctor (Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Chase Dillon), looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (Stanfield), a French Quarter psychic (Haddish) and a crotchety historian (DeVito).”
Katie Dippold (Ghostbusters 2016) is writing the new movie’s script for Disney.
