The Haunted Mansion
When going to see Pirates of the Caribbean, I knew I would probably have to sit through a gaggle of Disney movie previews. I can’t say I was too excited to sit through previews of movies about dogs who could talk (didn’t Benji and Chevy Chase close that chapter in American cinema when they created the vastly underrated, Oh Heavenly Dog). But I was blown away by the preview for another movie based on a popular Disney theme-park ride – The Haunted Mansion. Beyond the movie being a vehicle for Eddie Murphy to make jokes about moving his unsuspecting family into a possessed house, the movie looks like a production designers fantasy land. Indeed, as you see on the movie’s site the costume designs are amazing. Also if you catch the movie’s trailer you can see that The Haunted Mansion features some amazing typography in it’s introductory titles. Wow. Can’t wait to see it.
