According to reports, McG ("Terminator Salvation") is in current talks with Universal to direct a feature based on the board game "Ouija", to be produced by Michael Bay ("Transformers").
Screenplay is by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz ("Tron Legacy").
A 'Ouija' board (from the French and German/Dutch words for 'yes', 'oui' and 'ja'), aka a 'spirit board' or 'talking board', is a flat board marked with letters, numbers and other symbols, supposedly used to communicate with 'spirits'. 
It uses a 'planchette' (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a 'séance'. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out words or become physically manifest.
Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond in the late 1890s, the Ouija board was regarded as a harmless parlor game unrelated to the occult until American Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I.
While Ouija believers feel the paranormal or supernatural is responsible for Ouija's action, it may be more explained by unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the 'ideomotor' effect.
The 'Ouija' trademark is currently sold as a game by Parker Brothers.
