A few years have passed since Guillermo Del Toro and Disney announced they were teaming up for a new film based on The Haunted Mansion ride. Del Toro was attached to write and produce the project. In August of 2011, he said he was working on a second draft of the script…since then, things have been fairly quiet.
In a chat with Collider, Del Toro revealed:
I delivered my last draft five weeks ago. I have a meeting with them in three weeks. I know they like the screenplay. I need to meet with them in three weeks. Thats what I know. I know their reaction to the draft was good. We have a bunch of conceptualist art, but you never know, to predict anything else is hard for me to know.
So, the project isn’t dead or anything of the sort, just moving slowly along.
