It was announced in 2008 that Ridley Scott would direct a film version of Monopoly, based on Hasbro board game.
MTV spoke to Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner and here is what he has to say about the film, and how it is progressing:
Ridley is still onboard and wants to be part of this and we're very excited about this, probably for 2012…13…somewhere in the future.
The great part about Monopoly is the history, literally the history of the creation of the brand and the fact that the brand is 75 years old so you have this great opportunity for the real history as well as the fictional history to tell stories of families and characters.
Goldner also said that screenwriter Pamela Pettler‘s (Corpse Bride, 9) screenplay was “great” but that it also might not be, “all there yet.”
