The Haunted Mansion's reboot director Justin Simien opens up about how he is avoiding the mistakes that plagued Eddie Murphy's previous movie.
With 20 years now gone from the prior adaptation, Justin Simien is explaining how The Haunted Mansion reboot is avoiding the Eddie Murphy movie's mistakes. The upcoming film marks the second adaptation of the iconic Disneyland ride, with the story revolving around a single mother and her son hiring a team of paranormal experts to help exorcise the eponymous manor.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As part of their summer round-up preview, Entertainment Weekly caught up with Justin Simien to get some insight for the upcoming Haunted Mansion reboot movie. In discussing his extensive research for the project, the director revealed he and his team looked to the 2003 Eddie Murphy-led movie as a reference point to see what mistakes they needed to avoid.
[We looked at Eddie Murphy’s Haunted Mansion for how we could] go awry. We got down to the point where we were obsessing over the angle you first see the mansion when you walk onto the ride in Disneyland, when we see it through the gates and we see the pillars. That angle has to hit. That's how specific we were. When you first glide through the dining hall and you see the waltzing dancers, that angle had to be right, because that's the one where you gasp on the ride.
Why Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion Was So Hated Upon its release, Murphy's The Haunted Mansion movie found itself the target of much critical derision, with most reviews feeling it lacking any successful humor, despite its lead star, or any scares, despite its setting, and for taking its story far too seriously, resulting in a scattershot and dull mess.
Regardless of where one sits on that debate, anticipation for the Haunted Mansion reboot movie is largely high for both those who did enjoy Murphy's movie and those who still detest it. The first trailer for the new film has already shown off a number of iconic set pieces from the ride being adapted for the screen, namely the rising ceiling, Jared Leto's Hatbox Ghost and the seeming appearance of murderer spirit Constance Hatchaway.
