Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto, & More Casted For The Haunted Mansion Remake

[RAMROD 109,709]

 

EW has confirmed with a source close to the production that both actors will participate in director Justin Simien's new movie adaptation of the classic attraction, which operates in various versions at parks in California, Florida, France, and Japan.

Leto reportedly plays the "Hatbox Ghost" who appears throughout the ride, while Curtis portrays Madame Leota — otherwise known as the psychic medium whose head resides in the ride's iconic crystal ball — according to One Take News, which first reported the information.

Simien's contemporary update — also starring Rosario Dawson, LaKeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, and Tiffany Haddish — is Disney's second attempt at translating the Haunted Mansion attraction into a feature film, after Eddie Murphy fronted a heavily maligned adaptation in 2003.

It is the latest in a growing line of films based on classic Disney attractions, joining Brian De Palma's Mission to Mars, 2002's The Country Bears, Tomorrowland, last year's blockbuster Jungle Cruise, and the hit Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise. Taika Waititi is also reportedly at work on another feature-length Tower of Terror film with Scarlett Johansson.

Ive loved her ever since I saw her in my fav drama/comedy of all time Freaky Friday

The only casting I am optimistic on is Danny Devito. The rest just feel off for the vibe of the Mansion. I'm not expecting this to be a good film unfortunately, the basic plot already is leaving a lot to be desired and now Leto as the Hatbox Ghost and Curtis as Leota?

They should throw Katy in. I'd love to see her in something like this.
