Worst Idea Ever: Ridley Scott is Directing Monopoly
Ridley Scott is now OFFICIALLY attached to direct a big screen movie based on Hasbro’s popular board game Monopoly. Corpse Bride/Monster House scribe Pamela Pettler has been hired to write the script. Scott had been developing the project with plans to produce since June 2007.
Whaaaa?
I’m having a hard time imagining the scene where the doggie rolls doubles to get out of jail.
Oh…my…God. Has Hollywood really sunk this low?? For crying out loud, I have at least a dozen ideas in my head that are better than that one! And they wonder why people don’t go to the movies anymore? I just can’t believe Ridley Scott would actually stoop to this level.
Agreed; I think it will provide comic fodder for years. And the wisecracking has already started.
