Everybody who predicted Ridley Scott directing a movie version of the board game “Monopoly”, you win what must be a ginormous amount of money in the “What’s Ridley going to do next?” pool.

Now before we argue about who’s going to play the iron (Steve Zahn, natch), let’s discuss what other great filmmakers might tackle what other great board games (besides “Ouija” and “Battleship”, which have already been announced).

Candyland - Peter Jackson

If you can create Middle Earth, you can create Candyland

Operation - John Carpenter

It’d be a lot worse than a loud buzzing noise when you screwed up.

Sorry! - Quentin Tarantino

Would actually be a bunch of guys sitting around playing “Sorry!”  Oh, and they’d curse.  A lot.
