Marti Noxon to write OUIJA for Hasbro
Hasbro’s Ouija movie project has begun to gain traction again. THR reports that Hasbro and Platinum Dunes have hired Marti Noxon to write the script. Noxon recently wrote the remake to Fright Night and got her start writing for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Ouija does not currently have a studio. It was initially set up at Universal, but later dropped after budget concerns. This news has breathed new life into the project, which is still envisioned as a family adventure in the tone of The Mummy centering on “a family who has to deal with otherwordly chaos that is unleashed.”
I liked Noxon’s work on Buffy and Fright Night, but am not sold on the need for this film. This reminds me too much of Jumanji, what are your thoughts?
