The two Ouija films have been hugely successful here in the States, and if it weren’t for Mike Flanagan, we’d probably be wondering if we’d ever see a good one.
Paco Plaza, who reinvigorated the zombie subgenre with [REC], is looking to do the same with the famed Ouija board in Veronica, which Film Factory is getting behind in France.
ARP Selection will distribute the story which producer Apache Films claims to be based on the only unexplained supernatural case in the annals of the Spanish police.
ScreenDaily reports that Sony has earmarked an autumn release in Spain on Veronica, “About a young woman who must protect her younger brother and sister after she attempts to bring back the spirit of their dead father through a Ouija ritual.”
Ana Torrent will star with Leticia Dolera, Consuelo Trujillo and newcomer Sandra Escacena in the lead role.
Enrique López-Lavigne from Apache Films serves as producer. Film Factory chief Vicente Canales brokered the deal with Michèle Halberstadt and Laurent Petin for ARP Selection.
