Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, writers of the much-anticipated 3D sequel Tron Legacy, have been tapped by Universal to write a film based on Hasbro's Ouija board.
The Ouija board, used to spell out messages and answer questions, is one of several board games currently being developed into feature films, including Monopoly (by Ridley Scott), Battleship (by Peter Berg) and a new Clue film (by Gore Verbinski).
In the 1980's, there were plans to create Monopoly and Sorry movies if Clue was a success, but the film failed to find a foothold at the box office. Today, Hasbro is hoping the games will spawn similar success stories as their big-screen adaptations of
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
and
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which grossed $402 and $150 million at the domestic box office, respectively.
