""""There are some of the images from the ride that we are going to incorporate into the storytelling, but really the goal is you'll watch this movie as its own thing, Minkoff said. It's not about a ride. What will happen is you'll see the movie, and you'll go, 'Oh, I understand slightly differently what that meant [in the ride].' It will actually have more of an inflection on the ride than the ride will have an inflection on the movie

Isn't this the main complaint when any movie is made from another source that is so beloved. Everyone wonders why they had to change it so drasticly. There are very few projects like this that capture the feel and story of the original whether it is a novel, comic bookm TV show, remake or, now, themepark attraction.
So now we will have Hauntred House movie with a cople of eefects that resemble a scene or part of a scene in the ride and the rest of the movie has nothing to do with it and Mr Minkoff wants parts of his movie to infect the Haunted Mansion ride????
Hopefully AV is right and this movie is on hold forever. Or renamed and not tied into the ride.
