Do Top Hats Dream of Electric Trains?
"Monopoly: The Movie"? Ridley Scott may direct, "with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic 'Blade Runner.'" Alex Balk wonders: "Do Top Hats Dream Of Electric Trains?"
PENNYBAGS: [Slowly, deliberately] I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Boots mortgaging property to tiny dogs. Apartments torched on Baltic Avenue just for the insurance money. I watched someone roll triple sixes and land on Free Parking where a Get Out Of Jail Free card had been tossed into the kitty. All those moments will be lost in time, like a bank error in your favor. Time to die. [As the rain continues to fall, he drops his head and silently expires.]

That is one of the funniest game-related monologues I have ever read.
Their also planning a "feature adaptation of "Ouija Board," while the maritime classic "Battleship" is also in development."
That sucking sound is getting louder, the Langoliers are getting closer.
Ah but will it have an inner-monologue voice over? Will a unicorn be a new game token?
Will the Prada Shoe not know it is a knock-off Prado?
This could be an existentialist masterpiece. And I'm not joking. Narrative is so last millennium. Using Blade Runner as a visual style guide is good, but using Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down as an action style guide would be even better. Indiana Avenue is Mogadishu.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. … Time to die.
I'm still waiting for "Connect 4: The Movie."
the gear are turning and i've already churned out the next hollywood adaptation fad: shopping lists
grocer: [slowly, deliberately] "i've seen the eggs, they're on aisle four"

From the trailer..."Pretty sneaky, Sis!"
There is no "kitty" on free parking in Monopoly. By using the kitty rule you are breaking the design and making the game more tedious and despair inducing.
Love and kisses,
everyone you have ever played monopoly with.

Now I'm imagining The Three Stigmata of Rich Uncle Pennybags.
Wow, Hollywood, wow. Are you so out of ideas that not only are you remaking incredible, perfect films like 'Oldboy' and 'The day the earth stood still' that you're now resorting to boardgames!? If ever there was a need for an interrobang, it is now.
I really hope i've been very dumb and missed the joke.
Futuristic sheen? I don't think so. For Monopoly, you gotta go steampunk.
My car had a flat so I had to hitch a ride from the boot. Let me tell ya, the boot could use a new inner sole!
@11 -- Nowadays, that's more of a EULA violation.
Anonymous/Michael:
Yeah, the kitty line threw me.. is that something people do?
HarpDevil,
I hadn't heard of Hollywood doing OldBoy.
I'm crying inside.
This is all well and good, but I'm wondering how they're going to film the part where the little brother overturns the entire movie and storms out two thirds of the way through.
On second thought, it could end up being a triumph of surrealist filmmaking on a par with Un Chien Andalou.
What happens when they don't finish the movie in one night? Some games last several days. Will I have to return the next day to see who wins?
the Roy Batty talk is never going to get old for me. i've been finding them all over the internet all morning.
I'm sure Robot Chicken will also have a ball with this.
