Directors Seriously Fighting To Make This Ouija Board Movie

Seemingly viewing the chance to make a film based on pseudo-mystical plank as some kind of genuine opportunity, Breck Eisner and McG are competing against each other for the position of "director" on Universal's Ouija board movie. The studio already has a script--said to be a sort of family adventure that's drawn comparisons to National Treaure, The Mummy, Indiana Jones, and Jumanji--from the writers of TRON Legacy, and is rumored to have previously had meetings with directors Pierre Morel, Scott Stewart, and Sylvain White. Now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, both directors have delivered their pitches on the material, and Universal is expected to come to a decision after the holidays. Regardless who wins, considering the film's supposed desert-adventure slant and the fact that Eisner and G directed Sahara and We Are Marshall, respectively, I'd say we're looking at a pretty good chance of Matthew McConaughey playing John Ouija.
