 | Oh Jesus f#*k what is this dept: Universal Pictures have signed a four-picture deal with board game makers Hasbro | |
|
| And we mean board games. Hasbro might own GI Joe, My Little Pony and Jem and the Holograms, but it's not those that are getting adapted | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Nope - they're making a movie of Monopoly. Also of Candy Land, Ouija and f#*king Battleship. Movies. Presumably with seven or eight figure budgets. It almost shows contempt for the very concept of money. | |
|
| Seriously, make a Jem and the Holograms film instead, at least that's a property that makes f#*king sense | |
|

|
| And yes, I know that Disney did well with their "adapting theme park rides" thing, but only with Pirates and the Carribean and only because they got awesome people on every level. | |
|
| Remember "Haunted Mansion" with Eddie Murphy? Of course not. Monopoly: the Movie will be A TENTH THAT SUCCESFUL. THIS IS INSANITY ON A GIGANTIC SCALE. Does "Jem" the cartoon series feel like a half-remembered fever dream to anyone else? | |
