Ridley Scott playing with Monopoly!
November 12, 2008
Monster House and Corpse Bride screenwriter Pamela Pettler has been hired to script the feature film version of the Hasbro board game Monopoly.
Ridley Scott will direct the project for Universal.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott is developing the film "with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic Blade Runner."
Monopoly will be produced by Scott, Giannina Facio and Hasbro honcho Brian Goldner.
As THR points out, Monopoly isn't the only Hasbro film adaptation in the pipeline. G.I. Joe is due out next summer, while big screen versions of Ouija Board (at Platinum Dunes) and Battleship are in development.
