Justin Simien will reportedly helm the project with Dan Lin and Nick Reynolds of Rideback will exec produce, per Deadline. The film is based on The Haunted Mansion ride which debuted in 1969 and currently appears at both Disneyland and Disney World. Disney adapted the ride into a 2003 movie starring Eddie Murphy. The story will follow a family that moves into the titular mansion. Stanfield would play a widower who once believed in the supernatural but is now a rather lifeless tour guide in New Orleansâ French Quarter. Haddish would play a psychic hired to commune with the dead. Several people appear to be disappointed by the casting news, claiming the film will flop with two Black actors leading it. Â
