Which toy or board game franchise should get a movie next?

[Sean Hollyman]

So Battleship and Transformers have both gotten movies, but what do you think would be the next?

Not asking what SHOULD be done, but ideas would be hilarious.

I think a Scrabble one would be kinda cool and stupid, like some kinda ancient civilization that left behind cryptic clues and letters that must be decoded, kind of like National Treasure lol.

Or Kerplunk, in which terrorists seize control of a tall building and plant a bomb or something, and the hostages have to work together to defuse the bomb, by means of long sticks.

I can easily see Cluedo and Guess Who being made in a dark detective noir type of films or possibly quite simple a comedic films. Heck even Buckaroo can be made into a Westen film about a stumbled horse aswell.

Spoiler

I still think the potential exists for a NON retarded Transformers. Ironically, it would probably do a lot less business at the box office though.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Snakes and ladders. Snakes and ladders! You could put Samuel L Jackson in it, make it a sequel to Snakes On A Plane. What could go wrong?

Failing that, Hungry Hungry Hippos.

 

[Total LOLige]

So Battleship was a film about the board game Battleships? That's fucked up yo. I'd like to see a Monopoly film. A penniless man starts his own business and creates his very own multi-billion pound evil corporation.

 

[GistoftheFist]

Make a movie kinda like The Davinci Code but with Sudoku.

VISIONARIES.
God. Damn. Visionaries.
Knights with magical floating tanks who turn into hologramagic animals!

Mouse trap, obviously.

....What? It couldn't possibly be anymore retarded than Battleship.

Fun fact: There's talks about that being made with Ridley Scott as the director.

 

[Bebop]

Enders Games, oh wait

 

[Ljs1121]

I think a global war movie based off of Risk would be pretty awesome.

 

[porpoise hork]

I got it...

The epic board game inspired movie that no other could ever top..




Hungry, Hungry, Hippos....

 

[Melon Hunter]

Mousetrap. A gigantic mouse invades New York City, and a ragtag team of heroes must put together a Rube-Goldberg machine of epic proportions to save the day!

Guys, guys, please. The only right answer here is Connect 4.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Guys, guys, please. The only right answer here is Connect 4.

So something like 127 Hours, but with more death......?

Possibly, possibly. We'll see how it goes.

Damn you! This is what I thought when I read the OP. This HAS to be done. How could it be anything other than epically amazing?

Maybe Pop up Pirate - cos all pirate related material is awesome by merit of association.

 

[the abyss gazes also]

Go real old school. Rock, Paper, Scissor.

(I want to see them tease a plot out of that one.)

Yeah, Monopoly seems to be the only one that might actually not suck. At the very least it'd be better than the game!

Maybe have some cheesy lines, like having the movie end with the character in jail and having him say "You don't win a game of monopoly."

They made that already, it's called "The Social Network". *ba-dum-tish!*

Anyway, I'm putting my money on Hungry Hungry Hippos. Four monstrous hippos invade *spins giant wheel* San Fransisco, and start eating it. It's up to a snarky douche, a hot chick, and four or five identical soldiers(at least one of which is a somewhat racist caricature) to save the day.
