Ouija Board the movie gets a director
Universal is leaning towards Taken director Pierre Morel for the director’s chair for Ouija Board, according to the LA Times. The source still claims others are still in the mix, especially since Morel is trying to remake Dune. But as Platinum Dunes’ Brad Fuller said about the film, which won’t be a straight up horror film (boo!; via /Film): “A huge movie. That’s a big, big, big thing. … It’s more of a, like, Pirates of the Caribbean adventure story, with a Ouija board at the center of it,” later stating: “There are definitely horror elements, because it’s about Ouija and what happens from an Ouija board, but it’s a much bigger film. I would call it an action-adventure with horror elements.”
Okay…I guess if Pirates worked, being based off of a theme park ride and Transformers worked based off of some silly (but cool) toys, an idea like, under the right direction and script, could work.
