I honestly want to know how this got approved in the first place...and what the hell Ridley Scott's been smoking.

This is pretty old news. Atleast it has more of a story than the Sims- which is also being made into a movie.

How the hell do you make a board game into a movie??? Now Battleship or Thunder Road (anybody remember that one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder_Road_(board_game) ) would be possible but that? :eh?:

It's in the article.

Quote:
Crazily enough, “Monopoly” is one of several Hasbro games being adapted by Universal. They’re also developing “Quiji Board” and “Battleship,” and it’s only a matter of time before we get “Candyland.”


I think the Candyland bit was a joke though. But regarding this movie... I honestly can't imagine what it will be about. :meekins:

Well that one's easy to work into a story. I mean one like Monopoly or,,, candyland :beef:
Wouldn't suprise me if some religious directors try and make one about Chutes and Ladders (a game which was no doubt a plant by them :nick: ).

Monopoly could actually be a good movie if they do it right. Unfortunately if they did do it right, it wouldn't be MY kind of movie xD

There is a Cluedo movie(But it's just called Clue due to the fact it was made in the U.S.). It's well received.

It's gonna be awesome and you know it! :godot:

Also, the concept of Cluedo isn't that bad of a movie idea. If the movie in question is good or not is a different matter.

When the movie comes out- I imagine it will be a bunch of buisness owners (owning textile factories, Car manufacturing warehouses, Top hat and Iron Shoe stores around the world. ect. ect.) deciding to have a 'Monopoly' , where they make it a game to see who can own the most buisnesses in Britain. Whoever wins has all the other Participaters merge with their buisness. That is what the board game was about anyways.

Also yes, not even dog lovers would pick the dog piece.

Oh man. I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait for the other inevitable board game movies. Don't Wake Daddy? Trouble? Pictionary? And why stop at board games? We could make movies based on other games too! Like Freeze Tag or Red Rover! And who could forget Duck, Duck, Goose? This will be the best genre of movies ever.

I can see it right in you - the fluffy softness, the bark but not quite the bite - you are not cut out to be a banker. Not cut out to be a banker, a hotel manager or, hah, a street owner. Once you've built your imperium, some clever Top Hat or maybe even a Battleship will come along, and put all your stuff on mortgage, which INCLUDES that station West, which never saw any visitors due to the dog's food train bar. Yes. Then it'll be back to start with you.

I actually had the assumption that each piece represented a different person, like in some Monopoly game I played on the PC. Like the Battleship could represent a current Navy Seal, the Cannon could be an old war veteran, the Wheelbarrow could be a farmer, ect. Who just decided to go into buisness and see who would be the best at it.
