Updates on Platinum Dunes Projects: ‘Birds’, ‘Butcherhouse’ and More

Published

on

During our interview with Brad Fuller regarding the upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street remake, we got him to give us a few details on some of Platinum Dunes’ upcoming projects, including the remake of the 1987 Fred Dekker cult classic Monster Squad, The Birds the Untitled Ouija Project and The Butcherhouse Chronicles. Read on for the skinny on all of them and tell us which you’d like to see the most.
Producer Brad Fuller on the Monster Squad and The Birds remakes:

We’re all systems go on `Monster Squad’. We’re meeting with writers every day on that, trying to pick a writer to write that…’The Birds’ we’re still trying to figure out.

On The Butcherhouse Chronicles:

`Butcherhouse Chronicles’ right now feels like it’s just kind of…I think that we have a great script, but it doesn’t feel like there’s anything happening on that right now.

On their Untitled Ouija Project:

`Ouija’ isn’t really a horror movie per se, it’s definitely more of a big action-adventure movie along the lines of…I gotta be careful what I compare it to. But you know, it’s like a big action-adventure movie. And that script…I’ve read a couple pages of it, it seems good. I think we’re getting the full script in the next month. And that’s a very exciting project for it, cause it’s a much bigger movie, and it gives us an opportunity to try something we haven’t done before…There are definitely horror elements, because it’s about Ouija and what happens from an Ouija board, but it’s a much bigger film. I would call it an action-adventure with horror elements.

Why is The Grudge listed as TBA on Platinum Dunes’ Wikipedia page? [Assuming it means The Grudge 4.]

I have no idea. I’m not doing anything with `The Grudge’. It’s weird, I just got off the phone with Roy Lee, I thought he’s doing `The Grudge’, but we’re not doing `The Grudge.’
