A ‘Haunted Mansion’ Reboot is Coming
By George Robbins
Disney is responsible for making many movies over the years that have brought a lot of entertainment to families everywhere. Those films are what made the Disney company into the conglomerate that it is today and paved the way for them now owning much of the entertainment industry. Much of the groundwork was laid down by the animated films created by Walt Disney and his team of animators and this gave the company the love of the public and made it possible for much more to happen in the future. Other than the movies, the world was given the theme parks which gave the public a place to escape to and to find their inner child. Eventually, they would even start working in honest towards making live action films.
Nowadays Disney is still known for their animation but more so known now for their having control over some of the biggest companies and franchises in the world. They have control of Marvel Studios which covers the live-action front and they have Pixar which helps by covering their animated front. This doesn’t detract from the fact that the Disney company themselves also put out movies of their own in both markets. Not every film they make is incredible, but some of their older live-action films were highly regarded for the most part. Among those early films was the movie known as ‘The Haunted Mansion.’
Originally, ‘The Haunted Mansion’ used to be a ride in the Disney World theme park, but that would go on to be made into a movie all its own. This new movie version would even go on to inspire an updated version of the attraction. Now it would appear that after all these years that Disney is planning on bringing back the classic film in the same way they have been bringing back some of their other older films. They are apparently going to start working on an updated reboot of the original film, this time with the writer from 2016’s Ghostbusters taking the helm to make the script. It is still a ways off before we really see anything done for the film, but this is definitely something to keep an eye on.
