    More Hasbro movies coming...

    :shakehead

    Transformers just the beginning.
    by Scott Collura
    May 13, 2008 - What is this world we live in, where a toy company is also at the forefront of some of the biggest Hollywood movies out there?

    Where you been, bub? It's the year 2008, where comic books, TV shows, and toys are the hot items to base your movies on. And big-gun toymaker Hasbro knows it too, which is why they have appointed Bennett Schneir as the company's top creative executive on its film side.

    Schneir, according to Variety, has previously served as VP of creative affairs for ImageMovers Digital, Robert Zemeckis' company, where he handled Disney-related projects and also produced the CGI animation Monster House.


    Ridley ScottThe exec will be a key player as Hasbro's six-film deal with Universal develops, which will include projects based on properties such as Monopoly, Candy Land, Clue, Ouija, Battleship, Magic: The Gathering, and Stretch Armstrong. As has been previously reported, Ridley Scott's Scott Free is developing Monopoly for the big-screen.

    Of course, Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe are also on the Hasbro slate, though they will be distributed by Paramount. Hasbro hopes to have the first of its Universal films out by 2010 or 2011.

    "Our goal is to deliver more fantastic cinematic experiences, similar to what we did along with DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures with Transformers," says John Frascotti, Hasbro's global chief marketing officer.

    Candyland will be a kiddie movie, I'm honestly suprised thats not happend before. Another Clue wouldn't bother me, I don't even understand how they would a monopoly movie. Ouija could end up being another bad ass movie like Monster House. I really see that being CG animation. Stretch Armstrong will be pretty stupid. To me Battleship would have to be something along the lines of Down Periscope. Just another war movie, especially based on a board game, would be stupid.

    I can see a Monopoly movie being fun, if it's done right.

    Otherwise, we'll end up with a game where the goal is to buy everything becoming a movie whose villain buys everything.

    These aren't really all that big of a stretch.

    Stretch Armstrong would be a good Incredibles-esq superhero comedy.

    Battleship could be a Hunt For Red October type thriller with maybe Battleship being the codename for some top secret state of the art warship that falls into the wrong hands.

    Not sure about monopoly, but it would have to be a comedy to work.

    Candyland will be a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-esq. kids film.

    It surprises me that Magic: The Gathering hasn't already seen the big screen with the potential for a Lord of the Rings-esq epic saga.

    Clue has been done, and though I wouldn't mind another, topping the first is going to prove an impossible feat.

    And finally, I could see Ouija being a decent horror film.
