Straight from the Comic-Con convention currently underway in San Diego, Walt Disney Studios has announced that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, of Pan’s Labyrinth fame, will be creating Disney’s new film based on the popular theme park attraction, The Haunted Mansion.
del Toro is set to develop the adaptation of the original theme park attraction as well as write and direct the film.
