Monsterpocalypse
From the Hollywood Reporter:
John August is in negotiations with DreamWorks to write the studio’s feature film adaptation of “Monsterpocalypse,” a strategy game played with collectible miniature figures.
And much like the monstrous beasties stomping around that board, there are major players, studios and schedules that may get shifted around, even pitted against one another, if the project moves forward.
First, the latest development raises the possibility that August will reteam with Tim Burton, whom DreamWorks has been wooing to take on the project as its director. DreamWorks, which grabbed film rights to the “Monsterpocalypse” property last month, hasn’t yet nailed down the “Alice in Wonderland” billion-dollar man. Talks are, however, ongoing.
If that deal comes together, it would be the fourth collaboration between August and Burton, following “Big Fish,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Corpse Bride.”

I've never heard of this game but even the title is freakin' awesome. Unfortunately they'll probably stick to the hackneyed tradition of having human characters in the story.
