SilentScope001 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 http://www.avclub.com/content/newswire/universal_to_make_movies_based I am a big fan of "Clue: The Movie", and I would love to see what Universal can come up with. Good luck!
Negative Sun Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Just cast Robin Williams for it and I'm sure it'll be all good... Edit: Btw, I'd swap the last "o" and "l" in Monopoly if I were you done--Jae
Sabretooth Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Monoploy for the win. I'd love to see a Risk movie, personally. It would kick arse.
Totenkopf Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah, or maybe Battleship. Lotta destruction and mayhem in that concept.
DeadYorick Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Oh cheese and crust. Clue the movie was good since it reminded me heavily on Agatha Christie's novel Ten Little Indians. But It was so funny as well I bet Monopoly is going to have some really bad comedy in it. As most comedies these days go the directors are to cheap to hire good writers and comedians to design the script.
El Sitherino Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Clue was made of win and awesome because A. The cast was awesome as hell B. There was already a basic premise, solve the murder of Mr. Body. The movie took you through that process just as you go through it in the game. These films will probably fail as no company is willing to apply enough dedication to developing a good script. No way in hell will you see Tim Curry touch any of the comedy movies these days. Especially since the comedy market is dominated by now de-funked comedians like Dane Cook and crappy pop-culture re-references such as Meet the Spartans. "LOL See what I was joking about in this seen? Do you get it? Do you? It's funny because we're talking about something crazy that you remember" There's a reason why a lot of the good actors, many of us remember from comedy classics, no longer appear in many films (if any). I suppose I should stop this post now before I end up with one of those "Force Long Posts" about my issues with the movie industry.
DeadYorick Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Especially since the comedy market is dominated by now de-funked comedians like Dane Cook I actually still like Dane Cook. I have been a slight fan of his since I watched Employee of the Month. Anyway most great comedy actors get older. Most comedy actors nowadays aren't actual comedians like Jim Carry and Robin Williams. But actors trying to be funny. Now there are actors who are naturally funny and don't need to be comedians to make the movie very great. (Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson). But most people don't actually have natural talent to be funny on screen and over try. Back to the current topic on Monopoly. I wonder how they are going to work out a plot with it. Since all you do in monopoly is move around a board in a weird little figure and buy property.
Nedak Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 How much do you collect if you pass Go in this movie?
Darth InSidious Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 What?! Who comes up with an idea like that?!
Astrotoy7 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 ....I suppose I should stop this post now before I end up with one of those "Force Long Posts" about my issues with the movie industry. dont generalise! Its just Hollywood that has gone astray in magnificent fashion. Europe, Asia, South America, even Scandinavia have some great directors and writers seeing unique visions through, not making cinema based on a flippin board game ! mtfbwya

Europe and Asia have plenty of ****ty movies too. Don't make me get some IMDB up in this. But I do agree US cinema has gone to ****, with about 88% of it being completely useless bunk.
PoiuyWired Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 So who is being the hat? or the Iron... Maybe Woll Smoth would be in it, and everything would be fine. Well, now I am DEFINITELY sure a Hungry Hungry Hippo movie is coming out. Or maybe a Strawberry Shortcake Live Action, with that chick in Resident Evil, and Johnny Depp.
HerbieZ Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 God you've lowered your standards recently but this takes the biscuit. It'll be a series of hotel owners who constantly bet, loose everything resulting in the losses of their entire businesses leading them into a drug induced trance where massive boots, tophats and yorkshire terriors reign supreme.
Sabretooth Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Lies. Europe and Asia have plenty of ****ty movies too. Don't make me get some IMDB up in this. I can attest that most of the Bollywood movies I've seen are pretty lame too (although some have been decent too). But that's Bollywood really.
Aash Li Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Note to terrorists: Nuke hollywood first please. Thanks. (joking, dont hurt me!) Seriously though, Could we please just fire everyone over there and get new people? Disband all those useless unions? Honestly... Monopoly the Movie? Get Jim Carrey to do his ace ventura voices for the movie and *maybe* Ill consider seeing it... God... this is why I stopped going to movies and watching tv for the most part. >.<
Astrotoy7 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I can attest that most of the Bollywood movies I've seen are pretty lame too (although some have been decent too). But that's Bollywood really. Bollywood films are 2 hour music videos with shocking acting mtfbwya
Sabretooth Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Bollywood films are 2 hour music videos with shocking acting No, actually they're 2.5-3 hours, though the number is reducing these days... And at least half the movies released are plagiarised from either some lame Hollywood or other obscure movie.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I'm fairly certain that the Filipino movie industry is the second largest in the world behind Bollywood. Has anyone heard of a Filipino movie? That's why... So yeah, in raw numbers, Asia probably produces more crap then the American movie industry.
Jae Onasi Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 This makes me yearn for Mystery Science Theater: 3000 to make a comeback.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 This makes me yearn for Mystery Science Theater: 3000 to make a comeback.Best idea in this entire thread.
Serpentine Cougar Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Will this be like Jumanji? This doesn't really sound that interesting to me.....
Astrotoy7 Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 An awesome film(actually a documentary) about a game is The King of Kong which is an insane story about a guy's quest to get the worlds highest score in Donkey Kong...lolz.. tis quite funny. mtfbwya
spinkle Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Lies. Europe and Asia have plenty of ****ty movies too. Don't make me get some IMDB up in this. But I do agree US cinema has gone to ****, with about 88% of it being completely useless bunk. The other 12% are remakes...
