Stupid Idea, everything else Platinum Dunes has done or is doing has been a solid idea or a good movie (with the exception of the somewhat dissapointing "Hitcher" remake, had I not grew up on the original Hitcher, I might have liked the remake more) But this idea is silly and I have no interest in seeing this be made into a movie, I think that tapping into things that will be controversial against peoples religious beliefs is a bad idea and disrespectful, making a buck on a film while also taking a shot against peoples beliefs is kind of a dick move... I heard about this movie being made right now about Jesus Christ being a slasher killer, and that was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard, doesnt anybody have respect for anything anymore? ...Look im not preaching, but here's what I think: I do not believe in Buddism, but that doesnt give me the right to make a movie about a killer buddah and bash the buddism religion and the people who are involved in it, religion is a Personal thing and making money on hurting those people's feelings seems like a dick thing to do... I love horror movies, always will, but when they cross the border of being fantasy to taking personal shots at certain groups...it just doesnt seem fun then... freedom of speech, i know i know, but that shouldnt give people the right to be a disrespectful dickhead to people of a certain race or religion, is there no humanity and respect left in the world?... a movie about a killer christ and a film about a ouija board is probably going to upset alot of people and their personal beliefs and religions, why not just leave that area of humanity alone? I mean isnt hollywood rich enough off stupid movies that they wouldnt need to disrespectfully upset peoples personal beliefs?...i guess there is no end to the money filmakers and hollywood can make and no boundries they will ever stop at... these are just My opinions...

^^^ What the heck are you talking about? Where does it say anything about picking on Christians in that article? If anything with Platinum Dunes' involvement, it'll probably wind up a remake of Witchboard.

I'm sorry Protecious, but no one is above reproach. What you've said in your comment is that art should be censored and that makes you an enemy of every filmaker, writer, painter, musician, sculpter, etc in the world. If I can have the whole the God and jesus paradigm pushed down my throat on a daily basis, then they can have the possibility of God and Jesus' inexistence pushed down theirs. No one in this world has the right to not be offended. That would be like saying that it's the responsibility of all overweight people to get super skinny for the express purpose of ensuring that other people don't find them unpleasant to look at when they cross paths in public. If a person's religious beliefs can really be disrupted my a mere movie, then it really doesn't sound like that person was all that religious to begin with. Also, is the questioning of religion really the only disrespectful thing you've ever seen in a horror film? There's been racism, homophobia, murder (including patricide, matricide, and infanticide among many many others), rape, necrophilia, cannibalism, forced cannibalism.....but "religion" is where the line is crossed? No. That just brings us back to the censorship of art and the imposition of one's belief onto the lives and sensibilities of others. There are many ways of thinking and believing in this world and to suggest that those of one belief system should not be allowed the same freedom in the sphere of entertainment as those of another belief system is reprehensible and downright sociopathic.

First off if you don't like a remake the original is still there for you to watch. This business is all about making money and remakes bring in money. In my opinion I prefer some of the remakes and I am a huge horror fan. What really is pissing me off though is that these horror movies coming out at downgraded from an R rating to a PG13 which is ridiculous!!! I was writing a script based on the Ouija board to shoot here in film school and let me tell you a Ouija movie can be scary if it's done right!!! I hope they dont keep it at a PG13!!!

Yeah also about the religious stand point, if thats the case a number of movies should have not been made but the same rule applies just as for the remakes...if your not interested then DON'T go watch it!!!

"This business is all about making money and remakes bring in money." -- I'm so tired of people using this as an excuse for shit movies (and shit behavior in general.) The McRib brings in money too, you empty suit.

lol like I said if you don't like remakes, noone is making you watch them!

did you read in the end, where it said "This Is My Opinion"...? Just making sure, and as Ive said BEFORE, I believe you can have freedom of expression, but I believe a religion is someones personal business and IM not a believer of disrespecting someones personal beliefs, and "where did it say it's against god?", well alot of religions are STRONGLY against ouija boards...which if you were arguing that point about it having nothing to do with god, a little research FIRST would have been a smarter idea before you blasted my opinion...this is the 1 and only time im commenting on something someone said about my comment(s) because it's a waste of my time trying to tell anybody anything, because most humans are too stupid to understand something simple like respect and dignity...

I am surprised that no one, brought up the film, Witchboard.

Yup I was about to bring up withboard. ANOTHER FUCKING REMAKE. FUCK HOLLYWOOD!

Hmm I have that board game and it doesn't work for me..idc for a movie of it im just pissed the board game doesn't really do anything.

Protecious, although you are correct that quite a few religions oppose ouija boards, aren't even more religions opposed to murder? Should companies avoid putting that in movies as well? How about adultury? That's a big no-no for a certain well meaning religion that I can think of. Maybe we should remove all of that in the future, so we don't offend the religious right. I look forward to a life of dancing cartoon mice, but not too forward, I wouldn't want God to think I was worshiping them as false idols.
