And you thought Jaden Smith remaking Karate Kid was bad? Ridley Scott, director of Alien, Blade Runner, and Black Hawk Down, is producing (and possible directing) a big screen version of Monopoly. Seriously. Apparently, it will have a “futuristic twist” in the vein of Blade Runner. So instead of Deckard chasing down replicants, he’s going to be collecting Marvin Gardens?

Now that Ridley Scott has paved the way, think of all the exciting projects elite directors can attach themselves to without fear of joining an artistically bankrupt project!

Sadly, this last one is actually based on fact.
