Was it this production company that did Battleship though? I don't think they were around back then.

I'm definitely with you on Hollywood apparently bring out of ideas, and I don't think Monopoly is a great idea for a movie ... Just that if any producers can pull it off, it'll be them.

That said, the Clue movie from the 80s was actually good. Perhaps with Monopoly (unlike Battleship) having an actual established character of sorts, that could make all the difference.

Either way, I'm way more excited for The Sims movie that these folks are also making. I think that genuinely offers some real possibilities for storytelling a la what they did with Barbie.
