Remember this completely unassuming commercial from last year, where a toddler approaches his parents worried about his family’s financial future and their estate plan and their insurance liabilities and the dad calmly responds “Buddy – we’re with AIG!” and the kid stops worrying?
After months and months of rumors, Universal officially announced plans to release a feature film based on the board game Monopoly, and, as expected, Ridley “When You Think About Children’s Board Games You Think About Me” Scott will direct the project:
Ridley Scott, who has been attached as a producer on “Monopoly” and has been mentioned as a possible director, is now officially attached to helm the project, with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic “Blade Runner.”
Don’t worry, it gets even what-the-f*ck-ier:
Universal is working with Hasbro on several projects as part of a long-term development deal. Platinum Dunes is producing its feature adaptation of “Ouija Board,” while the maritime classic “Battleship” is also in development.
