Hoping that another crack at the Haunted Mansion story on film can perhaps spark a franchise where the 2003 version didn't, Disney has a teaser trailer online for the latest iteration. Check it out…
Directed by Dear White People's Justin Simien, this new Mansion is the story of a doctor (Rosario Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Chase Dillon), looking to start a new life, who move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans. They soon discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Owen Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (LaKeith Stanfield), a French Quarter psychic (Tiffany Haddish) and a crotchety historian (Danny DeVito).
Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto are on board to play iconic spirits from the ride, and the movie will be in UK cinemas on 11 August.
