The 2003 Haunted Mansion movie apparently made them money after you add up DVD+international+whatever sales, despite the terrible reviews, so maybe they figured it was worth doing some more. Haunted Mansion had Eddie Murphy, though. Wonder who they'll get to star in this?

It sounds intersting, but are they seriously going to make a movie out of every ride?!

If they can do a movie about Battleship, they can do a movie about anything. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440129/

Last year Disney began active development of a film tenuously connected to the Disneyland Matterhorn ride. Jason Dean Hall was hired to write a film that was called The Hill last summer, and then Brian Beletic became attached to direct the project. Now Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Scream 3, Transformers: Dark of the Moon) has been hired to rewrite the picture that has evolved to be about a group of adventurers who run into Yeti in the Alps.

THR says Kruger is working on the “untitled explorers movie” and that the story still features “five young adventure seekers — an action sports guy, travel guide, cartographer, archeologist and escape artist — who venture into the Alps for mysterious reasons and face Yetis that guard a secret.”

THR does say that the scope of the film has been expanded beyond just being based on the Matterhorn ride, but that wasn’t really an issue for the Pirates of the Caribbean films when it came to naming, was it? (By the way, we still hear once in a while that this movie will be called Matterhorn, but whether that is really going to be the case is TBD.)

And while we’re on the subject of Alpine expeditions, let’s just all say it together: “You see what happens when you find a stranger in the alps?”

yes, or change existing rides to fit in with existing movies

Yeti in the Alps.

Whoever wrote that has never been to Disneyland and doesn't have the background to write the article. There are no Yeti in the Alps, the legends are about Abominable Snowmen in the Alps.



Movies and rides will likely be meshed for a long time since Lasseter is directing WDI.

Funny, Disneyland's Matterhorn was already based on a movie tie-in before it was built: "Third Man on the Mountain"

Put Morgan Freeman in it and people will come

This sounds like the fictional movie from the first season of Entourage!

They also have "Jungle Cruise" in the works:

Its nice that now there is one more platform to discuss our experience of DW.

I saw it, it is nice, but will need to be made popular.

We can help you in that. BTW, I am going to recommend it to all my friends, to join it.
