Platinum Dunes Wants to Play 'Ouija' With Us

When I say "Platinum Dunes," you probably think "horror remake" -- which only makes sense since PD is the production company that brought you The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hitcher, and The Amityville Horror. (Plus they also have Friday the 13th and The Birds on the way.) But it sure looks like Platinum bosses Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller are trying to deliver some (relatively) original product. They've already got David Goyer's The Unborn in production ... and now they're signed up to deliver Ouija Board: The Movie. (title not official)According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ouija will hit the big screen courtesy of Platinum Dunes, Universal Pictures, Hasbro, and producer / screenwriter David Berenbaum. (His credits include Elf and The Spiderwick Chronicles.) No director has been named yet, and the top secret premise is being described as "a supernatural adventure..." I smell a PG-13 horror flick.
All I know is I hope it's better than Witchboard.

What this press means to say is... a group of teens are going to stumble upon a murder mystery and bring the Ouija board with them to solve it; all while being chased by the murderer. I can already see the climax of them at the end of a hasty chase, finally reaching the abandoned house where the spirit signal has four bars, audience teetering on the edge of their seats waiting for the reveal, but the antagonist holds one of the crew hostage, halting the divining lens from saving the day; as we all know, it won't budge unless everyones' hand are on it.
Me, I hope it all ends in a blissful PBF moment: http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF220-Passed_On.jpg
