The film stars Olivia Cooke, Erin Moriarity, Douglas Smith, Bianca Santos and Daren Kagasoff and is directed by Stiles White. Ouija concerns a group of friends use the eponymous board game in an attempt to contact a deceased friend, but only open a door to a malevolent force instead.
Meanwhile, Guillermo del Toro’s next feature film, Crimson Peak, is no longer an April 2015 release. Instead, Universal is giving that film an October 16, 2015 debut.
Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska are set to star.
When we spoke to Del Toro last year, he told us: “Crimson Peak is a much, much, much smaller movie, completely character-driven. It’s an adult movie, an R-rated movie, pretty adult. Shockingly different from anything I’ve done in the English language. Normally, when I go to do a movie in America for the spectacle and younger audience, for Blade or whatever. This movie’s tone is scary and it’s the first time I get to do a movie more akin to what I do in the Spanish movies.”
The logline goes like this: In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.
