Haunted Mansion may fall into the category of a Disney remake, but it will apparently present audiences with something very original. This Disneyland ride came to the big screen for the first time in 2003 in the Eddie Murphy flick, but the upcoming Disney movie will be a standalone film with a new story and characters. With this in mind, LaKeith Stanfield, who is an A+ casting choice for the reboot, explained how his new movie pays homage to the theme park ride and distances itself from the Eddie Murphy version.
The Haunted Mansion ride is truly one of the most iconic attractions you’ll find at a Disney theme park. While many don't believe in ghosts, they might start to question that notion by riding through an ancient mansion where they see ghostly apparitions waltzing in the Grand Ballroom or gliding through a cemetery where its spirited residents entertain you through song. Fortunately, Haunted Mansion reboot star LaKeith Stanfield told Fandango that his movie pays tribute to the chilling theme park ride in an authentic way that's sure to make fans of the ride nostalgic.
