While we wait for news regarding the Ahsoka series, the star of the show Rosario Dawson has booked a room at the Haunted Mansion as she joins the cast of the forthcoming Disney film.
Rosario Dawson has been set to join LaKeith Stanfield and Tiffany Haddish in Haunted Mansion, Disney’s latest live-action film based on one of its theme park attractions. Justin Simien is directing a script from Katie Dippold, and the pic, which also recently added Owen Wilson to the cast, is now gearing up to begin shooting next month.
The Haunted Mansion attraction debuted in 1969 at Disneyland. Guests take a slow ride inside a spooky and creepy manor that includes the spirit of psychic medium Madame Leota, the skeletal Bride and the cloaked Hatbox Ghost.
Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced Disney’s live-action hit Aladdin, are producing Haunted Mansion via their Rideback banner, with Rideback’s Nick Reynolds executive producing.
Dawson, who starred on USA Network’s Briarpatch and played Jedi Ahsoka Tano on Disney+’s The Mandalorian, most recently was on the big screen in David Oyelowo’s The Water Man and is up next in the Hulu limited series Dopesick which bows October 13.
