a HM themed restaurant would be awesome, IMO. if done right, it could be better than BOG.
i heard about a newer HM movie being developed once. i think benecio del toro was attached to it. haven't heard anything since.

Yes for both! I've always been a quick service gal*, but I'd love to eat at a Haunted Mansion restaurant. And I was excited to hear about the movie but it sounds like it's in development Hades. But I can't figure out where they'd be planning to put the restaurant, unless they're going to take out the grassy areas behind the Mansion, or the Hall of Presidents? I'm sure the existing info suggests a location but darned if I'll look up anything myself.

*Does that sound a little dirty?

Wrong Del Toro.

The HM reboot is a pet project of GUILLERMO Del Toro....aka the guy behind the Hellboy movies, Pan's Labyrinth, and Pacific Rim.

The last news was April 2016, when Del Toro stated it was still in the writing stage.

Granted, it's been in the writing stage since 2009...and Del Toro has been busy with Pacific Rim 2: Jaeger Boogaloo....

I would love another quality restaurant in MK, its sorely needed. Theming it around HM would be a great draw and there are so many ways they could make it a fun, enjoyable place to dine. A movie, IF done properly would be welcomed buuuut I haven been too happy with remakes. They never seem to catch the thrill Disney used to deliver.

re: Movie. Last I heard was that Ryan Gosling was set to star in it. But I think it was only a rumor at the time. This project has been off and on a while but it seems to never fully come off the back burner. Maybe they can greenlight it or simply promote it during Haunted Mansion's 50th but it's not looking likely. Still hoping this movie happens.
