BLADE RUNNER MONOPOLY!
via Hollywood ReporterThe Hasbro-Universal collaboration "Monopoly" is jumping a large number of spaces up the board.
The feature project has brought on Pamela Pettler to write the screenplay; She penned Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride," Gil Kenan's "Monster House" and the upcoming animated adventure "9," produced by Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.
And Ridley Scott, who has been attached as a producer on "Monopoly" and has been mentioned as a possible director, is now officially attached to helm the project, with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic "Blade Runner."
In addition to Scott, Giannina Facio and Hasbro's Brian Goldner are also producing the movie, which will shape a narrative out of the iconic real-estate game. Lawrence Grey will oversee for Universal and Bennett Schneir will oversee for Hasbro.
"Monopoly" marks the latest Hasbro property to look to pass go and head to the big screen. Board games and branded properties have become more attractive as studios look to mitigate risk by finding built-in audiences.
Universal is working with Hasbro on several projects as part of a long-term development deal. Platinum Dunes is producing its feature adaptation of "Ouija Board," while the maritime classic "Battleship" is also in development. Elsewhere at Hasbro, Paramount this summer is set to release Stephen Sommers' feature based on its "G.I. Joe" character. And "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays" is now airing as a syndicated television program.

EDIT: Nevermind, that was Paramount. My mistake.
Cristopher Walken IS... The car
Seth Rogen IS... The dog
Michael Caine is... The top hat
I mean a Clue movie makes sense, since it has a general storyline to it
But Monopoly? Is it just going to be some old dude in a top hat and tuxedo dicking people over?
Actually, that'd be pretty awesome.
Really fucking fantastic?
Oh. Wait a minute. You're one of those fun-hating fags who hated the movie, aren't you?
Gilbert Gottfried IS... That one absolutely horrid card that kicks your ass to Broketown by charging you exponential values for all your developments.

4 out of 5 Potatoes find me irresistible.
It's sweet of you to give him that much credit.
The one that doesn't is an actual potato.
He'd probably like me more if he didn't taste so good with butter and cheese.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
They cured aids you say? And cancer?
Side effects include Hypogonadism?
woa
Walken hates driving
and guns?
But with the trunk he's always got someplace to keep a soldering iron.
It's your roll.
You may collect 200 dollars.
Only fun for the first ten turns and then it's just everyone wanting to punch Cory in the goddamn face while running around like a little slum babies.
Rolls off the tongue.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
This summer balls will pop out of your mouth
You'll get caught up in it this November.
Knights stopped being cool when they stopped being able to impale people on lances.
