Ridley Scott to Direct ‘Monopoly’

Thanks to TFT listener Kiley for pointing out to us that Ridley Scott has signed to direct a film version of ‘Monopoly’.  I’m surprised cause I always thought of the game as more of a Tony Scott project, but there you go.  

This brings to mind some other possible pics; with ‘Hollywood’ creatively bankrupt as it is I wouldn’t be surprised to see the following:

Battleship: Michael Bay

Snakes and Ladders: Martin Scorsese

Operation: David Cronenberg

Crazy 8s: Paul Anderson

Hungry Hungry Hippos: Kevin Smith / The Pow Brothers

Unfortunately, Stanley Kubrick is no longer with us to direct Risk, (which would probably, most probably, been the best board game to film adaptation ever).
