Ridley Scott is such a moron. Really? Clue the boardgame at least had a plot and they got some magnificent comedians to pull it off, but there is no plot to Monopoly? Maybe he should get Donald Trump to star...he already thinks he's more important than he really is anyway...

This is not a joke. I'm dead serious. Ridley Scott is actually making "Monopoly" into a movie...
Here's an excerpt from an interview he did with the L.A. Times.

"Monopoly: The Movie"?
Monopoly is still the most popular board game -- I might be misquoting! -- in the world. So it's really finding the universe for that game. Because clearly it ought to be humorous and for the family -- the funny way it brings out, particularly when your uncle suddenly gets Park Lane and -- in England, we have Park Lane, Mayfair and Barclay Square, what's it in America? Park and Madison? So you watch people change. You're witness to Jekyll and Hyde. Somewhere in that is a hysterically amusing and I think rather exciting film.
About our gilded age of greed?
That as well. Isn't that comical?
Sort of! Perhaps you can take cues from "Clue."
I never really saw "Clue." But I think it was quite clever. It was one of the first-ofs, wasn't it, where you kind of engage the audience? Listen, in this business you have to examine everything, every direction that media is taking us. Because media is taking us into where, more and more, people have more and more time for more and more leisure. What's happening is it's affecting this shift and change in cinema, both with the material you do and the audience driving movies.

No word yet on who's going to play Uncle Pennybags. :p
