Executives at the Hasbro game company have decided to feature the popular Ouija board in an upcoming action-adventure movie, Cinemablend.com is reporting. The company has also gotten Pierre Morel to direct the film.

The movie is expected to incorporate Morel’s signature martial arts shots with supernatural elements. Hasbro expressed interest in Morel after his action movie ‘Takers’ became a surprise hit last year. He also had success with ‘From Paris With Love.’ While those movies were rated R and featured a lot of violence, Cinemablend hinted that the Ouija movie will be targeted more towards teens.

The movie is being written by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, who previously worked on ‘Lost’ and the upcoming ‘Tron: Legacy.’ It’s also suspected that Michael Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes, which specializes in horror movies, is going to release the film.
