Ryan Gosling is in talks to star in Guillermo del Toro‘s Haunted Mansion for Disney. According to The Wrap, the film was first announced at San Diego Comic Con back in 2010. Del Toro said that, unlike the 2003 Eddie Murphy film, his movie would not be a comedy.
Gosling and del Toro have developed a close friendship of late, with the Mexican filmmaker moderating a panel with Gosling at SXSW last month to discuss the making of “Lost River.” The duo were also photographed together at Disneyland over Oscar weekend, where they rode the Haunted Mansion ride in addition to Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain Railroad and the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.
Haunted Mansion will act as a homecoming of sorts for Gosling, who co-starred in Disney’s Remember the Titans and got his start as a Mouseketeer.
