Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien is open to creating more sequels based in the world of the new Disney movie. Speaking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the upcoming issue, which features Good Omens season 2 on the cover, the director says there's a ꦓlot of potential to expand in further films.&𒊎nbsp;
"It’s definitely in the realm of possibility," he tells us. "I sort of get my rocks off on world-building, so we certainly set up a lot that I think a lot of other stories co𒉰uld derive from and continue from. Not really up to me, but I definitely think there are possibilities there."
Indeed, Haunted Mansion has the daunting task of creating a movie bas🌸ed on a beloved Disney World ride. This means expanding a lot from the attraction and its many characters, which is something Simien says they took very carefully.
He says he got to "lean into the sour🔯ce material, but take it to 🍒a new place". Simien continues, "We certainly get into the lore of the 999 haunts and particularly what brings these ghosts to this particular place – why this place versus other places. 'Can stuff like this happen?', we get into that a great deal.
"♏It was really just about expanding what we know and what we can see around the story just a bit further, but not filling in every blank. Certainly Hatbox Ghost, that was a big one. We’re pulling from what has been established, what really has been rumored, and tried to flesh him out and flesh that story out too. I think it’s really satisfying. But it also leaves the door open for a lot more."
Haunted Mansion is released on Julyꦡ 28 in the US and on August 11 in the UK.
