As you may have heard already, Ridley Scott will direct a big-screen version of Hasbro's popular board game "Monopoly."

Universal Pictures is developing the project, and Scott will direct a script by Pamela Pettler ("Monster House").

Scott recently had a chat with the folks at MTV News, and although he didn't reveal all that much, he spilled a few details:

“We’re in progress right now. We’re having it written. We have identified a pretty good story and it is fundamentally a movie, not a game, probably describing in a way the characters in the film, the passion of the game, and how the game came about,” he told MTV.

Hasbro head Brian Goldner added, “He’s built these great big worlds of imagination.”
