MONOPOLY: THE MOVIE! BATTLESHIP: THE MOVIE! CANDY LAND: THE MOVIE... I'm not kidding...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I guess we've gotten to that point. Universal has made a deal with Hasbro to make a shit-ton of their board games into movies. Apparently Hasbro only gives their toy lines to Paramount/Dreamworks (Transformers and GI Joe) and now Universal has a monopoly (zing!) on the board games.
The deal promises at least 4 feature films. It could be anything from CANDY LAND, BATTLESHIP, MAGIC THE GATHERING, MONOPOLY, OUIJA and CLUE... wait... Didn't they already do that one? So, would it be a remake or something more true to the original... umm... source... uh... material? As long as they get Tim Curry back!
And there have been at least two OUIJA horror movies I can remember... Witchboard, anyone?
What the hell... it's Universal's money. And who would have thought adapting a Disneyland ride would have worked out so well?
And, I have to say, CANDY LAND would make one fucked up scary kid's horror/adventure movie. Give it to Gilliam!
Thoughts?

endless potential for sequels(starWars, spongebob editions)
by george newman
think of all the sports teams-themed Monopoly editions there are!!!
-
are ignored while studios adapt board games. i weep for the future!!!!!! 2012 CANT COME SOON ENOGH AND END IT ALL.
-
I have no idea what I'm doing right now...Uno!Finis
-
You must get a match before the time bomb runs out!
-
I love the original Clue and I'm hoping against hope for a special edition of it, complete with vast amounts of bonus material. *sigh* I know it will probably never happen.
-
"Idiot! In Latin, Jehovah starts with an I!"
Didn't they already do Twister in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? -
Starring Triple X
-
Not Triple X.
-
For this be the proof that Hollwood Suits have no ideas of their own and do not trust creative types. This is a sad day indeed. :(
-
Think about this. You could make a serial killer movie st in, say London, who bases all his moves on a game of monpoly. Then for a sequel use the same premise and set it in New York. Then you could get all trippy and set one in the Star Wars Universe, then Springfield, and finally Disney Land. The possibilities for ropey sequels are endless!!!
-
or what was that game where you had to pull stuff out of a Sharks mouth? That would make a good film.
-
I can watch that over and over.
-
You have my apologies and respect. I'll read the talkback next time.
-
Connect 4 - The story of one colours race to line up 4 in a row against the might of another set of coloured disks!Paper Scissors Rock Starring the Rock as 'rock'Swingball the movie starring the hilarious Will Ferrel playing swingball badly to great comedic effect!
-
Clue is a great movie. Endlessly watchable - Michael McKean, Madeleine Kahn, Tim Curry on top form, Christopher Lloyd, just great. Oh, and PirateEmery's Battleship post was the funniest thing i read on this site in ages.
-
Is just a cheap version of Raul Julia.
-
If I recall correctly, Hasbro owns Atari, Wizards of the Coast, Avalon Hill, and many other game companies. This could mean almost any one of their properties could make it to the big screen.
-
Mr. Mouth.
-
Where the hell has the creativity gone?
-
I too love Clue: The Movie. Entirely underrated. The question is, will Monopoly take place in the depression era 30's? Somehow I doubt it.
-
Mr. Moneybags is the new Daniel Plainview in a complex portrait of a ruthless self-made tycoon.
-
it can be one of those "accept yourself for being fat" movies like Shrek.
-
I think I already got freaked out with the "Gingerbread Man" part of "The Brothers Grimm"... Maybe we need Zack Helm to redeem himself with this one.

Seriously, this money could be used to feed starving nations and a studio's gonna spend it on adaptations of board games?! What the fuck?! -
At last we will reveal ourselves. At last we will have our revenge.
-
or however she spells her name. Look, I'm not trying to pick on fat people, because I used to be fat. What I'm saying is in this day, with all the nutrition information we have, she's saying it's okay to be fat and calls those who aren't "skinny bitches." I heard of a line in Roscoe Jenkins where her character calls her sweet tea "liquid diabetes," so she is obviously aware of the consequences. I'll be the first to say it ain't easy to lose weight, and there are three different body types so not everyone is going to look like a supermodel. I'm saying you can't accept obesity as okay. Big and curvy: nothing wrong with that. But there's a difference between that and obese.
-
Its just like Night Of The Lepus, except with, you know, hippos.
-
Basically a re-make of Them where cute backyard bugs mutate into giant carnivorous insects.
-
"One plus one...SHUT UP!!"
-
Make a movie based on the Star Wars Board games.
-
I remember an announcement last summer saying that Ridley Scott wanted to turn Monopoly into a movie. It could be kinda cool, actually, if they make it an intelligent thriller about the pitfalls of capitalism.
-
Would be better than the prequel trilogy. Just keep Luca$ away from them!
-
Kristen Chenoweth for the singing telegram girl.
-
Is when you know about some of the stuff they AREN'T making. You, know, awesome books that have been waiting for a screen treatment for far too long. Candy Land movie? WTF?!?!?

Which 'wooden' actor could they get to play Jenga?
I can just see the quote from the press release: A film about how we build things up and then knock them down.
-
Oh, wait.
-
They already tried to market this crap. It was called RENT.
-
Hayden Christensen would get the part in a landslide. The role he was born to play. haha
-
Which is more than likely what the deal was going for. Think D&D and Magic the Gathering instead.
-
Seriously.

It ain't about pizza or the X-Force chick this time.

Starring Patrick Stewart as..oh wait.
-
oh wait...
-
Just use the chase scenes from Ronin.
-
it was a good movie, and depending on which theater you saw it in, it could be one of three different endings. Only when they started broadcasting it on tv did they show all three at once.
-
I always loved that movie
-
Lincoln movie anyway. Is that still going to happen?
-
People would pay money not only to see this, but co-star in it.
-
hopefully he'll still be alive by then

This is stupid, all these board games have already been made into movies. Scrabble (Word Wars) Monopoly (There Will Be Blood)Risk (Napoleon) Pictionary (Monkeybone) Mouse Trap (An American Tail) Magic: The Gathering (Trekkies) Battleship (Sgt. Bilko) etc. Not to mention Clue (Clue) and Dungeons & Dragons (Dungeons & Dragons.)
-
Yeah.... Here's my $10.
-
Oh wait..... Bob Hoskins must have needed a new house or something. Someone that talented had no business doing that. Wasn't Hopper in that too when his career was in the?

Also starring Lindsay Lohan

I love Clue with Tim Curry. One of the great ensemble comedy films of all-time. Right up there with Canonball Run, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and Twelve Angry Men. What? Twelve Angry Men isn't a comedy? Interesting...
-
The time has come to choose your weapon.

Grammaton, so long as they get Rockapella to score the film...
by vaudeville villain
...would that be a *bad* thing!?
-
Hollywood can't even make a decent superhero movie or video game movie, and now board games are going to get shitted on as well?!?! WTF?!?! I remember when that so called "contest" on the next project would be for Rob Zombie was full of crazy but funny ideas, but DAMN! I NEVER thought that Hollywood would be that fucking desperate to actually take them seriously! On the other hand, if these movies are done right and given a nice twist they may actually be decent movies. But then again how many times have we crossed our fingers just hoping for an even OK movie based on a beloved resource/material. I will most likely still to YOUTUBE and see some REALLY thought out movies made by people that ACTUALLY give a damn about the material they are handling. This is fucked up for the world of cinema.
-
"Mr. Croc I suggest you cut down on soda, and by soda I mean humans."

out of the sharks mouth was JAWS. When the movie came out they made this game. It was a plastic shark about a foot long. You loaded it's mouth with all the plastic pieces like scuba diver, license plate, etc. You took turns scooping it out and if the mouth snapped shut, you lost. It was the first game I ever bought with my own allowance money.
-
That sounds awesome. I'd buy that for a dollar.
-
a role worthy of an oscar nomination. The guy is incredible in all he does, both on tv and the big screen. I regret never seeing him on stage yet.

All the little plastic bits were blue and there was a hook used to lift them out of its mouth. Really dumb, but I loved it.

...isn't it just nice to hear that somebody is trying something that's at least a little bit new? Yes, Clue was done, and some people love that movie. But immediate mental images of Monopoly and Candy Land were both more on the surreal, Tim Burton C&TCF side of "kids movies". That could be interesting. And at least it's not a remake, reboot, rehash, sequel, etc. etc. etc.

BATTLESHIP!
Two hours of explosions and action starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Walken, David Caruso and Gene Hackman. Jesus christ, I'd build a false idol for this movie!!! -

Wait - has that already been done? Why am I getting flashbacks of Raul Julia in a General outfit smoking a cigar?
... oh wait a sec - I think that was some OTHER game they turned into a movie... -
i was gonna ask why nobody really made fun of the fact that 'magic the gathering' was on the list, but any magic jokes would pale in comparison to the brazilliance on display here. i especially liked the bit further up about the ghost of ingmar bergman.

an amusement park ride at Disney World would become huge...I wouldn't have thought it, I still don't think it, but from what I hear it has happened, some pirate movie, I personally will never make any effort to see such films, nor films based on nostalgic board games...sorry! not for me...balderdash is pretty fun. (18-1)

WATCH!
... as two single troops and one tank from both the British and the Germans battle for North Africa!
SEE!
...The Japanese navy send everything they have to try to wipe out the entire U.S. Navy in the first round!
WITNESS!
...The option of the U.S.S.R. stocking up on 8 whole troops in the first round, while Stalin considers either playing the aggressive strategy of moving into Nazi territory, or waiting for the Germans to invade and play defense!
BECOME ASTONISHED!
...as the British basicly send out two planes, and the occasional naval vessil, while strategically bombing Berlin with a couple of bombers, all the while having only two troops and a tank to protect their tiny island!
COMING SOON....in glorious BLACK AND WHITE!

Fireball Island would make a kick ass adventure type movie. If there's any board game that could feasibly be adapted into a movie it'd be that one. -

There's a new reality show here I'm sure of it!
by some farts really stink.
How about a reality show with poeple playing board games and the losers have their pubes plucked out by a chicken? I am a fucking genius. No need to applaud. Sit the fuck down.
-
They would have to make this movie a comedy. And have someone like Bill Murrary assume the lead role. Since almost everyone alive has played monopoly, it's americas favorite board game. This will generate an astronomical amount of cash if they approach it right. Fuck all the other idea's, monopoly could rule if doen right.
-
Brad Pitt is Milton Bradley, Luke and Owen Wilson are The Parker Brothers, and Samuel L. Jackson is Hasbro in Roland Emmerich's "CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD," co-starring Matt Damon as Mattel, Dakota Fanning as Tyco and, Leonardo DiCaprio as Tonka. Set in New Manhattan during the summer of 2012, company executives without a clue risk a deadly operation of mousetrap to win the monopoly on toy tie-ins to stupid blockbusters based on board games. But when a superstorm hits, aliens invade and cavemen attack, the death of all creativity can't be far behind.
-
Instead of saying "You're fired!" he says, "Do not pass go. Go to directly to jal!"
-
I know some of the people involved at the top. I have high hopes for this Hasbro endeavor. Lots of talent and people who care about good storytelling involved.
-
I copyrighted a script through the WGA about a real estate agent in Atlantic City in a real life monopoly the same month that this project was announced.
