On Sunday during Essence Festival in New Orleans, Justin Simien, director of Disney’s upcoming “Haunted Mansion,” a mysterious comedic adventure based on Disney’s classic theme parks attraction, joined Nzinga Blake, executive producer and host of ABC Owned Television Stations, Race & Culture, for an Influencer Brunch Fireside Chat, and just as they were wrapping up, cast member Tiffany Haddish paid them a surprise visit.

In “Haunted Mansion,” a doctor (Rosario Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Chase W. Dillon), looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Owen Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (LaKeith Stanfeld), a French Quarter psychic (Haddish) and a crochety historian (Danny DeVito). The film, which takes place in New Orleans and was partially shot there, will open in theaters on March 10, 2023.
