Why, Ridley, why? by a goonie	Nov 12th, 2008 01:17:48 AM
I've been a huge fan of Ridley Scott for years, but damn is it difficult to get excited about the man's work nowadays. I even kind of like Body of Lies, but that was mostly due to DiCaprio, Crowe, and Strong, whose performances saved the movie for me. But I'm not a big fan of American Gangster or A Good Year or Kingdom of Heaven. The problem I'm finding with his work lately is that it feels like he's phoning it in. We know he can shoot high-octane, epic action sequences in his sleep and that's nice and all, but the man who made Alien and Blade Runner feels so far away to me. As for this project, I heard him spout off about this potential project a while ago and I really hoped it would go away. Now he's directing the motherfucker?! Oh, how the great one has fallen. I still have love for Ridley and I want to see him return to form, but this project does not give me hope. Though the addition of Pettler as screenwriter might sorta help. In the end, the only good to come out of this so far is all the joke projects talkbackers have come up with. I love the crazy idea of PTA's Scrabble. At least that's worth a laugh.

Bob Cryptonight by Thrillho77	Nov 12th, 2008 01:27:38 AM
I completely agree. In my opinion, the funny comes more from the fact that every pours in and follows the trend instantly - more so than the jokes we come up with. (Although, there are a hell of a lot of gems in this talkback) AICN memes are one of my guiltiest pleasures. Frank Capra to direct Monopoly: Bedford Falls Edition. The board also flips over for a Pottersville version.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! by Kirbymanly	Nov 12th, 2008 02:05:38 AM
Has it come to this? Really? I've been busting my ass through Hollywood with a fucking script that many have considered GREAT and a completely entertaining, original, geeky, money-making fantasy for a few years now and THIS gets made?! I'm a step away from saying "fuck you" to Hollywood at this point. It's one thing to bitch about re-makes but it's another fucking ballgame when it comes to suits (and an A-list director) saying yes to a BOARD GAME.

Blade Runopoly by Johnno	Nov 12th, 2008 03:05:35 AM
I'm assuming this might be kinda like Jumanji... where these people are actualy playing a board game that affects real life... so basically this is going to be a docu drama on what Wall Street was really doing when the current financial crisis hit the US and subsequently the world thus opening the doors to President Obama. I say we call it 'Obamopoly.'
And as for the MONOPOLY movie... by BurnHollywood	Nov 12th, 2008 03:06:13 AM

Only thing I can think of is like the movie Wall Street , but set in the Monopoly neigborhood or someth..... no this is fucking the moist batshit insane thing I could have ever read. Literally. The only thing crazier would be like " Martin Scorcese to direct Tele Tubbies film!" I dunno , that actually sounds more logical than Ridley Scott's Monopoly!! It just fills me with a stupid kind of glee due to it's sheer lunacy ! ( the funniest thing is , when I read the headline i thought it was gonna be a critical look at the bailout and the financial "geniuses" who screwed everything up. and the I read" based on the Parker Brothers Board game" and I just almost pooped myself!) I hope this is as goofy as it sounds !
Does this not by macheesmo3	Nov 12th, 2008 04:24:20 AM

a much better idea is the recent book by emeraldboy	Nov 12th, 2008 05:28:35 AM
by Iain Banks. the Steep approach to garbadale. This is the synopsis. The Wopuld family built its fortune on a board game called Empire! - now a hugely successful computer game. So successful, the American Spraint Corp wants to buy the firm out. Young renegade Alban, who has been living wild and evading the family tentacles for years, is run to ground and persuaded to attend the forthcoming gathering - part birthday celebration, part Extraordinary General Meeting - convened by Win, the Wopuld matriarch and most powerful member of the board. Alban, at first reluctant to involve himself in the buyout, increasingly thinks Spraint Corp and its executives, Fromlax and Feaguing, should be treated with suspicion. But he also has other things on his mind. Being drawn back into the bosom of the clan brings inevitable and disconcerting confrontation with his past. What drove his mother to take her own life? And is he yet over Sophie, his beautiful enchanting cousin and teenage love? Grandmother Win's revelations will radically alter Alban's perspective for ever.

...so there may be a chance. But it would only work as an old-fashioned comedy, maybe something a la "Ruthless People" or "Trading Places". Or "Clue". But this time, let Tim Curry win! Scott will probably want a "Wall Street II", though, because "dark, gritty and realistic" is fashionable now, after that sixth sequel to Tim Burton's Batman.

You're all missing one point: Blade Runner? by raw_bean	Nov 12th, 2008 07:06:43 AM
Now, I can see how fun it must be to pick directors and board games and make a gag on the unlikleihood of that, so I won't bother (oh go on then: The reanimated corpse of Alfred Hitchcock directs Risk!), but it HAS been done before, with Clue, and that was ok. It might be a bit of a stretch, but a Monopoly film isn't completely absurd. What's really fucking with MY mind is this bit: 'with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic "Blade Runner." ' Now, while I can conceive - just - of a Monopoly film being made by Ridley Scott, this bit just doesn't fit into my mental world without being crowbarred in! Anyone else have trouble with a distopian futuristic noir Monopoly?

1. You form a circle with your fingers by bringing together the tip of your thumb and index finger. You hold that circle anywhere below your waist level. 2. You try to get your intended target to look at that circle without realizing what he's doing before hand. 3. The second you see his eyes looking in the direction of your circle, you pounce and pound his groin reason. One-shot-one-kill rule in effect so make it count. 4. Fight ensues, however both parties' genital regions are now considered out of bounds. 5. Repeat as necessary.

...any movies based on those "choose as you read" book-games from the 80s. They actually had ready stories that could be easily transformed into decent scripts. "Freeway Warrior", anyone? Well, I suppose the audience for them was too small back then, and of course the only thing teenagers read today is their Myspace login.

Younger and Dumber Bureaucrats? by LeftFoot	Nov 12th, 2008 08:17:56 AM
Doesn't this kind of fit with the stereotype of young guys, business people, making judgement calls without any real knowledge or understanding of film? Just 'creatively challenged' bureaucrats making decisions influenced by financially successful pop culture ideas? They've run out of recycled old TV shows and movies. Now they are dumbing it down more. You can hear the tiny spinning wheels in the dull heads spinning, "...remember Jumani? We'll use a real game, a famous one. Maybe we can get Robin Williams for this to....?" High Concept will be "Strip Poker": the 3-D IMAX thrill fest.

...game. His previous films have proven that he just doesn't get the material...the ground breaking genius financial simulator that is Monopoly. A REAL Monopoly film should last all afternoon!...and STILL wouldn't be over! By the end you should wrung out, tired of life and have either estranged or come to blows with friends and family! NO way Ridley Scott or any major studio has the BALLS to make this film the way it deserves to be made. Do NOT fuck this up Riddle Man! I just lost ALL interest in this project...why does Hollywood have to fuck up every classic game like this?...I don't know man. I do not know.

It has my brother and me locked in a death grip pummeling the living shit out of each other (at least that's how it always ended at my house). Worst case scenario was some rug burns and maybe a bloody nose. But, with modern special effects, I’m looking forward to watching myself pick up my brother and execute a slow motion throw which sends his body careening through the side of a skyscraper. Bricks and galss come raining down on the street as my Mom screams, “dammit you two, knock it off!” Come to think of it, this might be the event film of the summer.

In a post apocalyptic world. There is no clean, drinkable water. Civilisation has descended into chaos. A scientist, locked in a lab 20 stories beneath the surface, with only his simple-minded assistant (Fox) as company, discovers the formula to the purification of human faeces into clean, drinkable water. But before he can write down the formula, he suffers a heart attack. Moments before he dies, he manages to copy the formula into the only thing available… The assistants Etch-A-Sketch. Can the assistant traverse the badlands of the "TopWorld" and deliver the Etch-A-Sketch to the government laboratories and save civilisation, all without shaking the formula clean? Find out. Next Summer.

We once got so bored during a Monopoly game that... by FlickaPoo	Nov 12th, 2008 09:09:55 AM
..my friend's younger brother started lighting his farts on fire. We had always heard about lighting farts but none had ever actually tried it (turns out it really works). Anyway, we were all laughing our asses off as the kid would roll onto his back,light another one and sit back up again, hysterical with laughter. After one of these maneuvers the kid's expression slowly changes from laughter to sheer horror and he starts going "oh! oh! oh!..." and scooting his but along the carpet like a dog trying to dislodge a turd stuck to his ass. When he finally calms down and stands up (almost in tears) he has a huge charred hole in his cheap ass polyester sweatpants. Either the fart or the butane lighter he was using lit his pants on fire and burns a hole is both sweats and Fruit of the Looms. True story. One of the funniest damn things I will ever see in my life.

Plot: "A Russian immigrant finds himself in bed with the mob after buying a sexual novelties shop." Weird. Anyway, I used to play the boardgame for hours. It was a space trade game.

Monopoly is a board game published by Parker Brothers, a subsidi by Leafar the Lost	Nov 12th, 2008 11:14:20 AM
From Wkipedia, "Monopoly is a board game published by Parker Brothers, a subsidiary of Hasbro. Players compete to acquire wealth through stylized economic activity involving the buying, renting, and trading of properties using play money, as players take turns moving around the board according to the roll of the dice. The object of the game is to bankrupt the other players. The game is named after the economic concept of monopoly, the domination of a market by a single entity. Monopoly is the most commercially-successful board game in United States history, with 480 million players worldwide.[1] According to Hasbro, since Charles Darrow patented the game in 1935, approximately 750 million people have played the game, making it "the most played (commercial) board game in the world."[2] The 1999 Guinness Book of Records cited Hasbro's previous statistic of 500 million people having played Monopoly.[3] Games Magazine has inducted Monopoly into its Hall of Fame.[4]

Really. by Sixtyhurts	Nov 12th, 2008 01:11:19 PM
I am serious, Mr. Scott. You have to read it, if you're actually going to do this film. Our script is better than, whatever you've got. Desperation, I know--but we JUST finished ours, and then I read this announcement.

Granted, the common response is a "WTF?" but the fact that there is so much emotion attached with MONOPOLY means that we have something. a nugget. Yep, it all depends on the story and it could be aweful. But I feel we got a good team. Wait and see.

Ridley Scott quote on the plot of Monopoly by mr.brownstone	Nov 12th, 2008 03:17:26 PM
Scott told the LA Times that it “ought to be humorous and for the family”. Scott explained that the humor will come out of the drastic changes in economic class, “particularly when your uncle suddenly gets [Park Place]” … “You watch people change. You’re witness to Jekyll and Hyde. Somewhere in that is a hysterically amusing and I think rather exciting film.”

they realize the hype created for Transformers and think any of their dumb toys can create a perpetual money tree. Yes Monopoly boards might sell a bit more, heck the movie will just be one big commercial for their board games. All they needed to do was find a studio dumb enough to make the movie.

When I first heard about this, Iwas like, maybe he'll do it in the early 20th century around like 1920-1930s when the game was first created, and give it a a somewhat satirical "Rat Race" like feel, with Moneybags orcheststraing the whole thing . Who knows what the fuck he has in mind for it.

It's about a bunch of folks who show up to a party and start playing Monopoly, see? And there's that tedious, hypercompetitive fucker who always wrecks everything by insisting that the game be played until the bitter end, even if that means staying up until 3am. Except this asshole's REALLY obsessed, and he starts killing everybody he bankrupts in increasingly violent ways, because they're trapped in the house with him. Winner gets to go home. Absolute dynamite, baby...it's like SAW with dice and little green houses...

..."Stop Thief." That was kinda cool, I could see that working as a crime drama of some sort. Anyone else remember Stop Thief?
Stop Theif by Xian042	Nov 13th, 2008 09:31:39 AM
I remember that game, you were a detective and you had to catch a robber by listening to the sound effect clues the electronic thing gave you.
Mel Gibson directs MONOPOLYPTO !!! by HoboCode	Nov 13th, 2008 10:33:16 AM

This is what Monopoly should be like... by AgentArchangel	Nov 13th, 2008 10:40:30 AM
OK, here's my synopsis for Monopoly: 2035...a Dystopian future like you've never seen. One man has an iron grip on the city. Its Banks. Its Utilities. Its Railroads. Its Hotels and its Apartments. All is owned and surveyed by one man...Rich "Uncle" Pennybags, or as the town calls him "Mr. Monopoly". (played by Anthony Hopkins) Mr. Monopoly has had a grip on Monopoly City for a while now...but his embezzling accountant, Danny "the Wheelbarrel" Morgan (played by Ashton Kutcher) has just sold him out on an attempted murder of hot new singing sensation "Shoe" (played by Miley Cyrus) to D.A. Thimble (played by John C. McGinley). However, Thimble's hands are tied, thanks to sleazy defense attorney Jonathan "Top Hat" Banks (played by Colin Hanks) and his ability to get Mr. Monopoly off on a technicality. Justice has long forsaken the streets of Monopoly...until two cops decided to beat the system at its own game. Lt. Barry "Battleship" Parker (Gary Busey) and Det. Scottie "Dog" Parker (Michael Chiklis) are two brothers who have their own sense of justice...street justice. With the help of The Wheelbarrel, DA Thimble, and the new rookie on the Force, Patrolman "Moneysack" (Haley Joel Osment); the Parker Brothers are going to take justice to the steps of Park Place, and make Mr. Monopoly pay for what he's done...WITH INTEREST! With thrilling chases, sex and danger at every turn, and Free Parking sometimes doubling as a Stock Market, no one is getting out of jail for free! Coming in 2012, Monopoly...because in this game...there's no such thing as Sorry!

Guy Ritchie directs Kill Dr. Lucky by DoctorTom	Nov 13th, 2008 02:02:56 PM
while I'm on the subject of Cheapass games..... the project was originally attached to Quentin Tarantino, then offered to John Woo before ending up with Guy Ritchie, who was reported to have to make the movie because 1) he is forced to pay for Kaballah school for his kids, and 2) he starts playing Texas Hold'em constantly after learning the game from Jason "I did that Uwe Boll movie because I kept drawing to inside straights" Statham.
