Anyone who has more clues to this please share as to me it's a big, well-kept secret and i don't know if the movie is even going to be made.
Can't speak to any of the details you've heard, but this is Del Toro's recent comments on the project;
“I delivered my last ['Haunted Mansion' script draft] five weeks ago. I have a meeting with [Disney heads] in three weeks. I know they like the screenplay. I need to meet with them in three weeks. That’s what I know. I know their reaction to the draft was good. We have a bunch of conceptualist art, but you never know, to predict anything else is hard for me to know.”
If he doesn't end up part of the film, it will be because he has so many things going on. He's finishing up his film 'Pacific Rim', in pre-production for a stop-motion version of Pinnochio (starring Daniel Radcliffe), and is at the top of the list to direct a live-action Beauty and the Beast retelling starring Emma Watson.
If the Haunted Mansion film is made, I assume it will star Rupert Grint. See what I did there?
