Ridley Scott brings us Nottingham, new Monopoly movie

[Garth]

Director Ridley Scott has been working thoroughly in pre-production to get ready for his upcoming film Nottingham, a retelling of the story of Robin Hood (played by Russell Crowe). Information can be found at the IMDB, here.

However, news has arisen now that Scott will take on a 'bizarre, big-screen adaption of the popular board game Monopoly'. Scott has been signed on by Universal to do so, and claims that the movie will have a 'futuristic edge', most likely 'akin to his 1982 epic Blade Runner'. Apparently, Corpse Bride screenwriter Pamela Pettler will be writing the screenplay.

But this is only the beginning, apparently. Transformers' Michael Bay is producing a film based on the Ouija board game, while a film version of the game Battleship is also supposedly in development.

Thoughts, opinions?

I'm (in a bizarre way) excited about both of Scott's upcoming films.

Nottingham doesn`t seem so bad, but a Monopoly movie? I wonder how they`re going to pull that off.

I wonder if they'll tweak up a storyline.
Much like they did with Clue.

I saw this earlier and had to laugh. Just goes to show how far down the crap chute Hollywood has gone. No good ideas anymore.

Ridley Scott seems to make only decent movies every now and again. If you ask me, nothing he's done since has matched Alien and Blade Runner. Though Gladiator came close :/

I can barely sit through one game of Monopoly.
I really don't see how he's going to pull this off. :x

It's not the actual game :v
It's probably about the shenanigans of some business tycoons.

I was being sarcastic. o.o

Obviously they couldn't create a carbon copy of the game; we'd all loose our minds.
Although I can't wait to see who might portray that little man with the top-hat. Whatever his name is.
