Disney is developing the “Haunted Mansion”, a few days ago, it has confirmed the male lead role.
Owen Wilson, who has appeared in “Night at the Museum”, “Wedding Crashers” and dubbed “Cars” and other films, joined the crew.
It is reported that he will work with Lakeith Stanfield and Tiffany Haddish in “Haunted Mansion”.
Owen Wilson is a famous American actor, especially good at comedy films.
His starring “Starsky & Hutch” and “Midnight In Paris” made him shortlisted in the Juvenile Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Film and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Film-Musical Comedy category.
In addition, Justin Simien, who once directed “Dear White People”, became the director of the film.
Katie Dippold, the screenwriter of “The Heat” and “Ghostbusters”, will also write the script for the film.
From such a combination of directors, it is not difficult to see that Disney’s new version of “Haunted Mansion” will take a comedy style.
This is in line with the positioning of Disney’s family carnival.
“Haunted Mansion” is one of the last rides designed by Walt Disney.
It debuted at Disneyland in 1969, and it can also be seen in Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland in Orlando, Florida.
There are 999 “ghosts” in this ride.
Because the ride is related to the dead, and has a strong style of predecessors and reincarnation.
Therefore, many tourists who come to Disney to play will choose to scatter the ashes of their loved ones in the park.
In fact, Disney is very good at looking for film material from the park’s rides.
For example, the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Jungle Cruise” are films adapted from the paradise project.
