Michael Bay to Produce a Movie About a Ouija Board

Published by Jeff Leins on May 29, 2008

Michael Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes will take a break from making bad horror remakes to creating a movie about the Ouija Board.

In case you’ve never seen how lame a ouija board can be on a rainy night, it’s a simple game board that is used to spell out words from beyond the grave. Oooo, scary. All I remember doing is trying to force everyone’s hands to point to letters that spelled cuss words and giggling to myself. Thomas Jefferson dropped the F bomb more than once.

David Berenbaum (Elf) will write a screenplay centering on the board. Let me guess. A group of teenagers at a cabin/sleep over use a ouija board to contact spirits who then terrorize everyone. Where’s my check?

In February Universal and Hasbro partnered to make no less than four of these board game movies, so expect more great ideas like this one. Monopoly is another one that will eventually bore you to tears.

Speaking of Michael Bay, he recast many of the same people from the original Transformers for the sequel. I didn’t think this needed a whole new post, so here are the people returning. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro.

Megan Fox again? Awesome. At the very least we’ll get more video of her looking unbelievably hot. Right before a robot pisses on John Turturro again.
