The director of such movies asTerminator SalvationandCharlie’s Angelswas on the shortlist of names vying for the big-budget flick, according toDeadline, along with Breck Eisner (The Crazies), Sylvian White (The Losers), Scott Stewart (Priest), and, briefly, Pierre Morel (Taken).
Ouijawill not take the expect supernatural horror angle— strange consider Michael Bay’s horror house Platinum Dunes is producing— but will follow a more Indiana Jones type journey to discovery. Of what, we’re not quite sure yet. But I’m hoping the arrow points more towards Indy and less to its imitators, likeThe Mummy(admittedly the first was fun) or the National Treasurefranchise. Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Tron: Legacy) wrote the script, which doesn’t inspire much confidence really.
Universal and Hasbro formed a six year pact inFebruary 2008to produce at least four films from the toy company’s extensive shelves. Peter Berg’sBattleshipwill be the first out of the gate and the early frontrunner for the 2012 Razzies. McG’s film will be next, already scheduled for November 9, 2012. Then probably Rob Letterman’s Stretch Armstrongstarring Taylor Lautner, which sadly is real and not a Twilight fan’s dream casting.
McG recently completed work on the comedyThis Means Warwith Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy, and Chris Pine, which we’re actually excited about with such a great cast. Can McG make us care about a Ouija Board movie?
