'Haunted Mansion' Director Justin Simien Shares His Real-Life 'Ghost Wink'
The Big Picture There’s lots to love in the new Haunted Mansion movie. It’s a hugely enjoyable adaptation of the iconic Disney ride that’s packed with delightful scares and lovable characters. But, the element of the film that I find weighing most heavily on my mind is the concept of the “ghost wink,” a subtle way for a ghost to let you know that they’re with you.
Hear all about it straight from Simien himself in the video at the top of this article, or you can read our conversation in transcript form below. And the thing that I knew would be great, but you just never know before you start casting is the experience with the actors. Obviously, it’s a Disney movie, it’s a big studio movie, I knew I’d be working movie stars, and everyone in this film is a big movie star, but they’re also really wonderful actors and performers. I learned how to direct doing theater, and so I have a real love for actors. It’s not just about looking cute. It’s like, “Let’s really find a character here.
The thing about Carmen is that she knows how to use a cast to tell multiple stories. Not just the story that’s on the page, but other kinds of cultural stories. Putting people in places you don’t expect to necessarily see them. There are so many cameos in this movie, too, and one of the things that we had a lot of fun doing on my last film, Bad Hair, is making a meal out of these little, small moments and parts.
