E.T. star Henry Thomas is the latest to sign up for Mike Flanagan’s latest tale of terror, Ouija 2, and according to THR child star Lulu Wilson will be following his trail of Reese’s Pieces.
The duo join the previously announced Elizabeth Reaser and Annalise Basso in the sequel to last year’s micro-budgeted Halloween horror film that ended up making $102.5M worldwide via Universal Pictures. The next installment, also based on the iconic board game from Hasbro, will also debut for Halloween 2016, specifically October 21. The project will be directed by Mike Flanagan, who will co-write the screenplay with Jeff Howard (Somnia, I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot).
Ouija 2 will be produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form for Platinum Dunes, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions, and Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis from Hasbro. Intrepid Pictures’ Trevor Macy, Flanagan’s frequent collaborator, has joined the film in a producer capacity.
Universal’s director of development Sara Scott will oversee the project for the studio.
