Comments

Disney has released a new trailer for its upcoming Haunted Mansion movie that really dives into the lore of the ride and the titular house. The movie, scheduled for July 28, almost goes through the ride itself and introduces pretty much all the ghosts in the house and brings them to the big screen. From the Duelists to hints of Captain Gore, it really feels like 999 haunts are coming at you.

We also get our first hard look at Jamie Lee Curtis as Madame Leota, originally played by Disney engineer Leota Toombs and voiced by Eleanor Audley for the ride, and Jennifer Tilly for the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie with Eddie Murphy. Check out the trailer below.

This movie is centered around a woman named Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her son Travis (Chase W. Dillon) who enlist a motley crew of so-called "spiritual experts" to help rid their home of the ghostly guests. The film's producers are Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, with Nick Reynolds and Tom Peitzman serving as executive producers.

Along with Dawson and Dillion, the film includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto as the Hat-Box Ghost.
