Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien discusses getting the visual design of the mansion right, and all of the little details fans can expect. HauntedMansion Disney
Disney fans are not exactly an easy bunch to please. In fact, hardcore Disney fans might be some of the hardest fans to please because they notice the second that something is off. That's why they pitched such loud fits whenever something gets changed at the parks; they can tell even if it was something they've known was coming for years [Splash Mountain]. So for a movie based on a ride that is iconic for its look, directorlook right.
"When I got the job, the first thing we did was we extensively toured [the ride]," says Simien."You really do meet the mansion the way you would as a guest at the park: through the eyes of a new cast exploring the lore along with you. … The script firmly plants it in the New Orleans mansion.
Much in the same way that Disney stans are obsessing over every single detail of this ride, Simien explained that him and his team started doing the same thing with the house they were creating for right down to how characters would enter certain rooms the same way we see into rooms while riding our Doom Buggy.
"We got down to the point where we were obsessing over the angle you first see the mansion when you walk onto the ride in Disneyland when we see it through the gates, and we see the pillars. That angle has to hit. That's how specific we were," he says."When you first glide through the dining hall, and you see the waltzing dancers, that angle had to be right because that's the one where you gasp on the ride."film that we found out is still in development.
