Director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) spoke to Los Angeles Times and revealed that he's involved with an upcoming "Monopoly" movie, based on the popular board game. Here is what he had to say:
"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."
He added that people's greed is part of the comedy.

WHAT?!?!
This is about the lamest idea ever. Has Ridley gone off the deep end here?
Who will play the shoe?
JPX, you crack me up!!
I get the hat, dammit! I always get the hat.
Hmm. And I don't think I've ever won this stupid game. Maybe I should rethink.
Actually, I don't think I've ever even played this game until somebody won. I've just played it until everyone got sick of it.
