A Monopoly Origin Story Is Coming to Theaters

[FPLOON]

I only have one, very important question...

...who's playing the dog?

Ryan Reynolds?

OT: Eh... Right now, I still think Drunk History did this origin better...

Other than that, I feel Sorry for those that couldn't get a Clue and actually take a Risk at making a good board game movie that's not just the Guess Who of cult classics, at best...

Remember this?


What are we going to be copying this? Or did everyone forget it was a joke.

According to Nabatoff, the novels upon which the Monopoly film will be based will turn our perceptions of the board game "on its head."

"No one will ever look at the Monopoly board in the same way again," said Nabatoff,

Which is basically code for "We got nothing, but we have to say something that'll get people hyped."

There's already a pretty good documentary out there, Under The Boardwalk - The Monopoly Board Game Story. Ignoring the parts were they completely drop the documentary part and just show recordings of Monopoly tournaments for half an hour, the average person will learn a a fair amount about how regular and professional players play.
