"Clue" was excellent. And "Dungeons and Dragons" was... okayyyy...

I'm not sure what the plan is with "Monopoly", but for my own sake I'm not gonna crucify the idea because I want it to be good.

Leslie Nielsen as Rich Uncle Pennybags, plz.

They should make it a horror/slasher film where Pennybags is a psychotic killer that forces his victims to play a sick and twisted version of the game that tortures them in various ways.

It'll probably end when everyone discovers the banker has been cheating and so they all quit.

That is how every game of Monopoly I have ever played has ended.

My first thought was Clue and how amazing that movie was, as Bman also pointed out. Definite potential here. Look forward to it.

I fully expect a homage/tribute/insult at the following:

1) The who gets to be the car thing.
2) Going to jail and the get out of free card.
3) Passing go/do not pass go.

I bet they get those out of the way in the first five minutes.

Clue is a great movie, but that's a game that is actually accommodating to a film adaptation. Clue is about solving a murder mystery. Monopoly is about racing around in circles, buying real estate, and making money. Not so film-friendly. <_<

I agree. I think Clue does make for a far better movie. But, as stated, I have trouble envisioning a good "Monopoly" movie but hope for a good one.

But maybe "Monopoly" could be decent if you make it about a real estate mogul taking it to an upstart and then progressing from there.

Also, I expect CGI :shifty

Am I the only hoping it ends up as some weird combination of Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down, Aliens and Matchstick Men?

Shit, throw in some Gladiator, too, for the hell of it.

EDIT - And some American Gangster, although that movie looks like shit. Shame, there's some good material there. >_>
