Shame no more del Toro, but I'm still intrigued.

So, I'm guessing they think this still has to be a "black" film, or Eddie Murphy nostalgists would be disappointed?

Is anyone really nostalgic for the previous version? It was pretty poor... Glad to hear it will be a new take and, hopefully, closer to the actual attraction, however "modern" the touches are.

Funny, I went to school with someone named Justin Simeon. Had to look twice there! ;)

Well, I'm hoping we get something on the level of Wallace Shawn's "There's always MY way..."

Tiffany Haddish and LaKeith Stanfield are in talks to star. If that pans out, doesn't really sound much different from the original.

Logo and synopsis:

Image
Walt Disney Pictures’ Haunted Mansion, is based on Disney’s classic theme parks attraction and starring a star-studded ensemble cast that includes LaKeith Stanfield (Knives Out), Tiffany Haddish (Bad Trip), Owen Wilson (Loki), Danny DeVito (Jumanji: The Next Level), Rosario Dawson (Zombieland: Double Tap), and Chase Dillon (The Underground Railroad). The film was directed by Justin Simien (Bad Hair, Dear White People) and produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich (Aladdin). Nick Reynolds (Easter Sunday) and Tom Peitzman (The Lion King) are the executive producers.

In this mysterious adventure, a doctor (Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Dillon), looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (Stanfield), a French Quarter psychic (Haddish) and a crotchety historian (DeVito).
Wow. ;)

Jared Leto and Jamie Lee Curtis join the cast, reportedly as Hatbox Ghost and Madame Leota. Yay for Jamie!

Some info from D23:
The first footage shown largely focused on the mansion itself, with shots of the building, maps of the house, and the discovery of a secret passageway. The characters also find old barrels which leads to a fire starting. The trailer also showed multiple glimpses of Danny DeVito and Owen Wilson. The cast also includes Winona Ryder, Dan Levy, and more.
Danny DeVito, yay! Dan Levy, ugh. Kinda getting tired of him.
