Tron Legacy is definitely on my list of most anticipated upcoming movies. I love the original Tron, and can’t wait to see a revitalized 3D version of that world with Jeff Bridges returning to the fold.
Here’s the short list of some movies that I’m less excited about: Battleship. Monopoly. Ouija.
Yes, it’s true: the writers of Tron Legacy (Adam Horowitz and Richard Jefferies) have been in talks with Platinum Dunes (who are breaking loose of the constraints of horror film remakes lately) to make a filmed adaptation of the Ouija board. I have no idea how talented Horowitz and Jeffries are (I’m hoping very), but it’s doubtful that they’ll make any use of the board scarier than a notable scene in Paranormal Activity.
According to the Heat Vision blog at Hollywood Reporter:
“The studio is looking at the project as a supernatural action-adventure movie. It is possible that certain rules of the game — never use it alone, never use it in a graveyard, always say good-bye — figure into the plot.”
Yuck.
What do you think? Is this an awful idea or am I failing to see the potential in it? Let us know in the comments and keep reading AtomicPopcorn.net for all your movie news needs!
