Thanks to TFT listener Kiley for pointing out to us that Ridley Scott has signed to direct a film version of ‘Monopoly’. I’m surprised cause I always thought of the game as more of a Tony Scott project, but there you go.
This brings to mind some other possible pics; with ‘Hollywood’ creatively bankrupt as it is I wouldn’t be surprised to see the following:
Battleship: Michael Bay
Snakes and Ladders: Martin Scorsese
Operation: David Cronenberg
Crazy 8s: Paul Anderson
Hungry Hungry Hippos: Kevin Smith / The Pow Brothers
Unfortunately, Stanley Kubrick is no longer with us to direct Risk, (which would probably, most probably, been the best board game to film adaptation ever).
Cluedo (or is it know as just Clue in the States?) Was already done many years ago with Tim Curry – and multiple endings!
You're right of course – Clue has been made – which means it's ripe for a remake!
(with the stunt casting of Ricky Gervais playing all the roles!
While it wasn't listed, Universal also has rights to “Candyland”. That could be pretty creepy.
