Ryan Gosling to Star in Guillermo del Toro's HAUNTED MANSION

Ryan Gosling ("Drive") is in talks to star in Guillermo del Toro's "Haunted Mansion". One of del Toro's longtime passion projects, the film will be based on the Disney ride of the same name. There has been a previous attempt to turn the ride into a movie back in 2003 with Eddie Murphy in the lead role, but that film wasn't much of a success, which is why Disney is looking to reboot it.

Guillermo del Toro has been attached to this project since 2010, but things have been moving slowly. Last year del Toro announced that he and Disney are still working out the script. Now, with Gosling attached to star, things will probably move forward rapidly.

Disney is also busy with its lineup of live-action adaptations based on their animated classics, to which the studio recently added "Mulan", "Winnie the Pooh", "Pinocchio" and "Dumbo". Del Toro is also tied up with the release of his gothic horror "Crimson Peak" and preparations for "Pacific Rim 2"
