Wow. I don't even know how to respond.

 

[Browncoat]

Man, I hope he doesn't recycle footage from Pearl Harbor in this (as he did with Transformers).

The characters might be close to spelling something, and just then a huge explosion rocks the room, 40 army dudes bust in and one starts screaming at one of the Ouija players, "You moved it! Don't you ****ing lie, you moved it!"

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

This movie will have explosions.

 

[Jackasscoley15]

Exploding Ouija boards? Hmmmm, sounds intriguing.

 

[Drizzle]

I'd imagine it to be like "Jumanji", but it's homicidal ghosts running around instead of animals.

 

[Bim]

The movie is not taking a "Jumanji"-like approach, which involved a game coming to life.



This sounds intriguing, this could be a very cool movie if done right t:

 

[GhostPoet]

So...what...they are all gonna sit around the board and the camera is going to spin around them a lot? (with bright lights shining from above them)

 

[Immortalfire]

When are we getting Monopoly, Scrabble and Battleship movies?

Ridley Scott says Monopoly will be later.

Geez

The only proper response to this I can muster is,
lol? .

Its not gonna be like that at all. It says so in the article.

It will be "aesome" to quote micheal bay.

 

[fu manchu]

This movie will have explosions.

and probably car chases too.

 

[Browncoat]

So who wants to bet the religious groups who can't take a movie for just being a movie go ape**** over this.

 

[phillyboy]

I'm still waiting for Bay's remake of The Ten Commandments.

I don't care what it says in the article. There's no other way to make "Ouija" without a "Jumanji" approach.

 

[xwolverine2]

im glad they are taking a comedic route to monopoly...


NOT KIRSTEN DUNST!!!!!!!!!!!
, she's not "young and sexy"

 

[LastSunrise1981]

I've always wanted to see Bay do an actual horror film.

 

[phillyboy]

[Browncoat]

Nah, this will probably end up being some lame adventure story where the main characters befriend a spirit(s) they contact through the board. Bay will be the first one to tell you he makes big, loud movies for boys, this probably won't end up any different.

Plus, Hasbro probably wants something light.

 

[The Guard]

MONOPOLY I want to see. Not so much this.

I can't wait for TROUBLE, a LOGAN'S RUN inspired romp through a colorful, futuristic world where the Pop-O-Matic Bubble looms large.

I do hope this is a period film.

 

[Joker]

A group of teens will accidentally summon an evil ghost, who will use a machine gun and drive a sports car in his quest to kill them all to become human again.

 

[Darkfly]

it doesn't say anywhere Bay is directing just his company is involved in bringing it to the big screen

I guess with the success of Transformers, Hasbro is throwing every they got against the wall to see what sticks. I read a while ago that a major studio bought the rights to 'Monopoly'.

How will they make properties like that work?

Already a thread for it, Michael Bay bringing Ouija to the big screen.
