Thanks to a healthy $102.5 million worldwide return on a teeny budget, Universal’s board game-based horror Ouija summoned up the chance of a sequel. Annalise Basso is already in the cast for the movie and now Twilight’s Elizabeth Reaser has joined up.
Oculus’ Mike Flanagan is directing, working from a script he wrote with regular collaborator Jeff Howard. The plot will find Basso (who worked on Oculus) as a young woman who decides that the Ouija board is the ideal method with which to contact her late father. Had she watched the first movie, she might have figured out that this is a very, very bad idea. No details have been given as to who Reaser is playing, though there’s a good chance she’s the young woman’s mother.
Flanagan’s involvement gives us some hope that the sequel will have a little more too it than the decidedly lightweight and less-than-thrilling original. He’s taking aim at an October 21, 2016 release date.
Reaser has most recently worked on indie movies One And Two and Hello, My Name Is Doris, neither of which have firm UK release dates yet, though the latter played the Edinburgh Festival.
