There&#8217;s been few and far between good movies that have risen from board games (&#8220;Clue&#8221;) or fun ones from cool toys (&#8220;Transformers&#8221;), but there&#8217;s always been a risk with making those films. Apparently Hasbro wants to continue taking more possibly rewarding movie-making risks with &#8220;Monopoly.&#8221; The movie has been rumored to be in development for awhile now, said to have Ridley Scott attached to direct, but the talk on the project has died down considerably.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner happily talks about how the project is still alive and well. <strong>&#8220;&#8216;Monopoly&#8217; is still happening, and we&#8217;re developing a great story. It&#8217;s a very fun take. Ridley (Scott) is still the perfect creative steward, because he creates these great, fictionalized worlds. It&#8217;s going to be a very fun story to tell.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not all he had to say on the topic. Goldner continues on, telling everyone a pinch more about the overall plot. <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s a very human and personal story. It&#8217;s not really &#8216;Wall Street,&#8217; not at all,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s a fictionalized story of a family, and there&#8217;s a lot of intrigue in the story. Suffice it to say, it&#8217;s a story about a family with a history, and we&#8217;re projecting that into current times. But it&#8217;s not &#8216;Wall Street.&#8217; It&#8217;s more about property ownership and of the play-pattern of the game.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you think Hasbro and company should still continue on making a &#8220;Monopoly&#8221; movie?<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/moviesblog.mtv.com\/2011\/03\/07\/monopoly-ridley-scott\/\" target=\"blank\">MTV Movies Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43689\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43689\" style=\"width: 499px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/monopoly-movie-director_ridley_scott.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/monopoly-movie-director_ridley_scott.jpg\" alt=\"Monopoly\" title=\"Monopoly\" width=\"499\" height=\"330\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/monopoly-movie-director_ridley_scott.jpg 499w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/monopoly-movie-director_ridley_scott-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monopoly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you part of the mindset that making movies out of board games or toys is dumb?
