The upcoming Haunted Mansion film adaptation will star actress Rosario Dawson as a single mother who brings in a team of paranormal specialists to contain the ghosts in her New Orleans home. The team includes LaKeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, and Tiffany Haddish.

The film will feature cameos from characters of the ride, such as Jamie Lee Curtis portraying Madame Leota and Jared Leto as the Hatbox Ghost.

Simien’s Haunted Mansion is scheduled to hit theaters on July 28th and is expected to be a thrilling and unique take on the classic Disney attraction. Fans of the ride and the previous film adaptation can look forward to seeing a new perspective on the iconic haunted house.
