It’s been a long time since we heard any concrete update on the state of Guillermo del Toro’s Disneyland-inspired horror movie\u00a0Haunted Mansion<\/em><\/a>, but in an interview with Collider<\/a>, the director revealed that he has wrapped up the writing.<\/p>\n

“I delivered my last draft five weeks ago,” said del Toro. “I have a meeting with them in three weeks. I know they like the screenplay. I need to meet with them in three weeks. That\u2019s what I know. I know their reaction to the draft was good. We have a bunch of conceptualist art, but you never know, to predict anything else is hard for me to know.”<\/p>\n

Guillermo del Toro has seen a lot of projects come and go over the last few years without seeing the light of day, and he was famously unable to direct both The Hobbit<\/em><\/a> and Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark<\/em><\/a>, so it’s not unreasonable to have doubts about\u00a0Haunted Mansion.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I still would love to make that movie,” continues del Toro. “I came on board originally as a writer and producer, the decision I think they may be waiting [for] is for me to say I\u2019m directing the movie. Or am I directing it next, which is too early for me to know what I\u2019m doing next in live-action. I\u2019m in the middle of Pacific Rim<\/em><\/a> and I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do next.”<\/p>\n

Pacific Rim<\/em> is in cinemas from 12 July 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
