Scott was the director of Alien, Gladiator and Hannibal, among others. I wonder how his experience with gritty, serious movies will translate to Monopoly. he claims it will be family friendly.

The whole idea i just odd.

How exactly would a movie about Monopoly work? Interesting.

So 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."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cinematical.com/2007/08/06/ridley-scott-talks-monopoly-movie/">Even the <EM>LA Times</EM> asks whether the film will focus on "our gilded age of greed," to which Scott replied: "That as well.
