Updated with clarification: Disney’s Haunted Mansion world premiere at Disneyland this Saturday is still on, even if there’s a SAG-AFTRA strike, however, it remains to be seen if there will still be a red carpet press line on Saturday night.
Sources tell us that Disney is still mulling on the red carpet press line. If it does happen with a strike, it will likely be with studio executives, Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien, producers Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, EPs Nick Reynolds and Tom Peitzman and composer Kris Bowers available for interviews.

The current SAG-AFTRA contract was extended to 11:59PM, tomorrow, Wednesday. Any actors and actresses nominated for Primetime Emmys can still do press, but after Thursday, they cannot do any press for any projects. That rule by the union has tied the hands of studios and networks heading down to San Diego Comic-Con next week, from July 19-23. Expect to see a lot of screenings and trailers, and hardly any talking heads down there.
Haunted Mansion stars LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon, Daniel Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Hasan Minhaj, Marilu Henner and Lindsay Lamb.
During the WGA Strike, writers/creators have been allowed to do press as long as a personal or third-party awards publicist has been pitching on their behalf; they’re not allowed to do any press that’s been organized on behalf of a studio.
Haunted Mansion, inspired by the Disney parks theme ride, opens July 28.
