Monopoly as a movie and Scarlett’s in it?
According to UK’s Times, our all-time favourite board game Monopoly will be a movie. That’s thanks to Sir Ridley Scott who would like to jump “on board to turn Monopoly–the world’s best-selling game–into an improbable feature-length movie.”
Remember the amazing sound and effects of “Gladiator” and “Black Hawk Down”? He might give something of that sheen to his intended movie version.
One of the actors who is considered to be in the movie is none other than Scarlett.
Scarlett Johansson, 22, who has already made several films in Britain, once joked that she explored London through the British version of Monopoly. She is said to find the prospect of a film version “funny, wacky, but interesting”.
Aside from Scarlett, the will be touted “racy comedy thriller” will include Kirsten Dunst. Hasbro, the maker of Monopoly, “wants the film to feature ’sexy young people’ in an attempt to win over teenagers who regard board games as a last resort on a wet afternoon.”
A Hasbro consultant said:
“Hasbro already has cool games like Ouija, which could be a supernatural movie, but we think of Monopoly with Ridley Scott as director or producer, as a massive global hit. Everyone has played Monopoly in one version or another so, hopefully, they would be curious about how it translates to the screen.”
Well, I am. But I need a refresher’s course.
