Universal Pictures isn't ready to make any board game movies right now as the announced today that OUIJA (a film by Michael Bay) is not going to movie forward. This news just three weeks after the announcement that the company pulled the plug on a new retention of the game CLUE.
Bay and McG are now meeting with other studios to see if there is any interest in the property. But even Paramount Pictures, which developed Hasbro's TRANSFORMERS into a film, passed on OUIJA. At this stage in the game, it's not imposble for the film to still happen. If another studio were to come aboard, Universal may be willing to stay on as a co-financier. But things are looking grim.
