Another Teaser + Featurettes for Disney’s ‘Haunted Mansion’ Movie

Haunted Mansion Featurette

“The mansion is the star of the movie. We are mere chess pieces within it.” Disney has unveiled a series of promo videos for the Haunted Mansion movie, based on the beloved theme park attraction. It’s opening in a few weeks, hence the big final marketing push launching now. The movie is directed by Justin Simien (Dear White People, Bad Hair). Two new behind-the-scenes featurettes below also go into the making of the movie, and how thy wanted to take this Disneyland ride and turn it into something even more exciting and cinematic. In this movie, a single mom named Gabbie hires a tour guide, a psychic, a priest, and historian to help exorcise their newly bought mansion; after discovering it is inhabited by ghosts. This stars LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Dan Levy, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto as The Hatbox Ghost. I love making of featurettes that show how massive & gorgeous the sets for big studio movies are, and how much detail they build right into them. // Continue Reading ›
