Fair Play

After his critically acclaimed supporting role in Oppenheimer, Alden Ehrenreich has turned his sights to something very different: Netflix erotic thriller Fair Play.

The movie, directed by Chloe Domont, premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

Based on the theme park ride of the same name, Haunted Mansion stars Rosario Dawson as a single mother who moves into a suspiciously cheap mansion in New Orleans with her nine-year-old son. However, they soon find out that they're not the only residents of the house – or not the only living residents, at least. In an attempt to get rid of the ghosts, she enlists the help of a former paranormal investigator (LaKeith Stanfield), a priest (Owen Wilson), a psychic (Tiffany Haddish), and a history professor (Danny DeVito).
