Sources inform the Vulture website that Universal has placed the Ouija film project into turnaround. In less words, they let it go.
Reportedly, director McG and producer Michael Bay are meeting with representatives from other movie studios to see if there's interest out there in making the expensive tentpole production. Also reportedly, Paramount (the studio where Bay's Transformers movies were produced and released) passed on the opp to make the Ouija movie.
Vulture also goes on to say that Universal has to pay Hasbro $5 million dollars for letting go of the movie.
