Ridley Scott to helm ‘Monopoly’

Yeah, that “Monopoly.” Variety says Ridley Scott has confirmed he’ll direct a big-screen adaptation of the popular Hasbro games.

Screenwriter Pamela Pettler, whose credits include “Monster House” and “Corpse Bride,” is writing the script.

The trade also says Universal is developing the project. Other flicks based on Hasbro toys that are currently in development include “Battleship” and “Ouija.”

Although I have no clue how they want to turn this into a movie, I’m sure they’ve got it all planned out already. The question is: how close can and will this movie be to the game?

Anyway, Scott most recently directed “Body of Lies.” His next project is “Nottingham,” a new take on the Robin Hood character starring Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller.
