So any of Hasbro's properties that Universal may want to turn into a movie, they can.

So um, when the market acts right again, I need to buy some shares?

 

[Cinemaman]

That would be a horror film. And I'm not even being funny...those things scare me. The urban legend about how they come to life at night and choke the **** out of you.

I actually would love to see a Monopoly movie much in the same vein as Clue. Come on a tongue in cheek movie about capitalism especially in this climate, there so much potential there if they don't **** it up.

Richard Attenborough IS Moneybags.

Cant Rat Race be sort of considered a Monopoly movie ? Racing around to win the money prize

There's a reason they bond their arms and legs in those packages.

I thought Ridley Scott was already attached to make Monopoly.

I thought Ridley Scott was already attached to make Monopoly.

I never read that, that'd be cool though. Someone mentioned Rat Race, the problem with that is that it was a vehicle for a bunch of washed up actors/actresses. If they made a monopoly movie they really should go with a no-cast.

 

[EdRyder]

^ I read an article on it before.He wants to make it about the pitfalls of life where some friends get rich and others go broke.He mentiond he wants both Scarlet Johansen and Kirsten Dunst.But I think "Notingham" is still next on his to do list

No, the dude from "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" is Moneybags.

Can we get a Don't Wake Daddy movie too?

We can turn that into a drama/thriller about domestic violence.

I had one when I was a baby.

Universal made that deal a little late didn't they? Sort of missed the big two toy brands from Hasbro. I guess they can use ummmmm Action Man. But really who wants an Action Man movie. Maybe they can do a Rom the Spacenight movie or something, maybe even micronauts if Hasbro has the rights to them?

Battleship

Don't shoot me, but I'd love to see a Scrabble Rom-Com.

Monopoly sounds like it could be a great deal of fun as well.
Jem and the Holograms could be awesome, but something tells me it'd get Hannah Montanaed into nothingness.
