‘Monopoly’ gets Ridley Scott !!!

Now I don’t know about you but it seems like everywhere you turn a movie is being made off an old idea. This is a prime example, the board game Monopoly   is becoming a movie, yes a movie. To add even more to this new movie famous director Ridley Scott, Black Hawk down, Body of Lies, and American Gangster, has been officially signed on to not only producer but direct as well.   “Monopoly” marks the latest Hasbro property to look to pass go and head to the big screen. Board games and branded properties have become more attractive as studios look to mitigate risk by finding built-in audiences.
