Ouija 2 is a forthcoming 2016 supernatural horror film directed by genre specialist Mike Flanagan (Abstentia; Before I Wake; Oculus) from a screenplay co-written with Jeff Howard (also announced as the co-scripter of the 2016 remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer).
Oculus actress Annalise Basso (also in Ghost Image; Dark House; and TV series Bones) is the first cast member to be announced.
Although it received largely negative reviews, Ouija went on to earn $102.5 million worldwide against a budget of $5 million. For the sequel, a host of producers are on board: Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are representing Platinum Dunes (The Unborn; The Purge 3; Friday the 13th 2016 reboot) while Jason Blum will produce for Blumhouse Productions (they also produced Flanagan’s horror hit Oculus).
