ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien about the Disney horror-comedy movie.
“Inspired by the classic theme park attraction, Haunted Mansion is about a woman and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters,” says
That was really my throughline in the movie. Getting to, even just in a fantasy way, work out, “Wow, what if I had a been growing up,” or, “If I had a Travis now, what would that do for me? How would that change me or allow me to move through some difficult things?” You have such a great ensemble cast, but I have to ask specifically about Danny DeVito. That had to be such a thrill working with him since he’s such a legend. What stood out about getting to see his comedy chops in person as a director?
He is a consummate professional. He feels so easy, on camera and off camera. He is so dedicated, man. It is crazy. He’s a great mix of the things that you want in an actor and that I kind of think of in myself too. Maybe it’s because we’re both from Texas — that might be part of it, I’m not sure. But he can get really, really intense and really, really hyper-focused and wanting to get it right. But at the same time, he knows how to have fun, and in between takes, he’s on a bike sightseeing.
