The 2003 movie is a corny early 2000s Disney family movie. It also manages to neither be funny or scary.

I expect the 2021 version to be a
2020's Disney generic movie that lacks any soul, like all their live action output in recent years.

Disney movies are written and edited by comittee now, good luck ending up with something that isn't scrubbed of personality by the end.

I like the Muppets. As long as it doesn't turn into a ride overlay then this is fine.

This better not be another overlay

Pretty major casting update to the film situation:

Tiffany Haddish, LaKeith Stanfield in Talks for Disney’s ‘Haunted Mansion’ Remake

Tiffany Haddish and LaKeith Stanfield are in talks to star in "The Haunted Mansion" remake.

Illuminerdi has also provided a brief plot synopsis that quite a few articles are quoting. That being said the actual legitimacy of it is questionable:
The plot will revolve around “Gabbie, a single mother, and her young son [who] recently purchased a New Orleans estate [the Haunted Mansion] at auction only to discover it isn’t quite as empty as they expected.”
“Gabbie hires a grieving widower who works as a ghost tour guide [Ben Matthias], a psychic [Harriet], a priest, and a local historian to exorcise the vengeful spirit from the Haunted Mansion.”

I really don’t know if I’m liking this casting though I’ll hold out judgment until I hear more.

Nothing against Tiffany Haddish but I was really hoping for a darker/macabre tone a la Guillermo Del Toro. Hopefully this doesn’t repeat the mistake of the first attempt, and fall too heavy on the self-deferential comedy.

The Eddie Murphy version is going to look good in comparison.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Not much info on it but it sounds interesting.

Tiffany Haddish?

 

[Californian Elitist]

Love Lakeith, but not a fan of Tiffany.

 

[Brer Panther]

Depressingly, I would not be surprised if this is even worse than the 2003 movie.

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

Will they bring Jennifer Tilly back?

Will they bring Jennifer Tilly back?

LOL! Watching the Olympics while reading this when suddenly "JENNIFER TILLY" flashed on the screen. I had a shiver of fear but turned out to be for a Chucky movie.

Correction: TV show.
