Yesterday we learned that Halloween star of the franchise Jamie Lee Curtis has joined the cast of Disney’s new live-action Haunted house movie. She takes on the role of Madame Leota, the disembodied head of a psychic who lives inside a crystal ball.
Entertainment Weekly confirmed that news and also revealed it Jared Leto He was also cast for the film and will play the role of the fan-favorite character of Hatbox Ghost.
The film is directed by Justin Simien (Dear white, ugly hair), and is also the protagonist LaKeith Stanfield (Knives out), Tiffany Haddish (Bad trip), Owen Wilson (Loki), Danny De Vito (Jumanji: the next level), Rosario Dawson (Zombieland: double tap), And Pursue Dillon (The Underground Railway).
In this mysterious adventure, “a doctor (Dawson) and his 9-year-old son (Dillon), looking to start a new life, move to a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is so much more than Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Wilson), who, in turn, enlisted the help of a widowed scientist who became a failed paranormal expert (Stanfield), a psychic from the French Quarter (Haddish) and a historian. irritable (DeVito). “
The haunted palace it’s one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. It’s just plain fun and there are so many ghost stories told with all the characters filling the journey. It will be interesting to see how this film handles the stories of these classic characters.
It’s not hard to imagine Leto as Hatbox Ghost, but when Guillermo del Toro he was developing the film all those years ago, he would have done it Doug Jones plays the character. It would have been more interesting.
Haunted house will be released in theaters on March 10, 2023.
