Monopoly. It’s actually true.

Ridley Scott, yes, Sir Ridley Scott has actually admitted that he’s about to make a MONOPOLY movie. I didn’t believe it when the rumor appeared like a month ago and I’m finding it hard to believe it now, but as far as I can tell this isn’t some elaborate prank, and I don’t see a boom mic or Ashton Kutcher, so yeah, as far as I can tell, there’s gonna be a comedy/thriller based on MONOPOLY. Scott had the following to say:

“…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.”

There you have it I guess. I don’t really have any further comments to add except that it’s happening.
