Development

The film was first announced in July 2010, when Guillermo del Toro was hired to write and direct a new film based on the Disneyland theme park attraction The Haunted Mansion for Walt Disney Pictures.[1] The project remained in various stages of development, until Ryan Gosling entered negotiations to star in April 2015.[2]

Pre-production

In August 2020, it was announced that Katie Dippold signed on to write a new screenplay for the film, after it was decided that del Toro's script was too scary for family audiences. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich were hired as producers. The project will be a joint-venture production between Walt Disney Pictures and Rideback.[3][4] By April 2021, Justin Simien entered early-negotiations to direct the film,[5] and was officially confirmed as director by July 2021. Tiffany Haddish, Lakeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, Rosario Dawson, and Danny DeVito were each cast to appear in the film.[6][7][8][9]

Filming

Principal photography began in mid-October 2021 in New Orleans, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia.[7][9]
