they are running out of ideas on what to make movies about

they are making monopoly, battleship, candyland? wow. they need fresh ideas. and tekken. no. another street fighter. whats next? chess? and i know someone is eventually gonna bring up thisor this

what are movies coming to?

there is a whole library of ideas if Hollywood would just pick up a book.

Making movies from board games isn't new, they did it back in the '80s with Clue, which...wasn't that bad.

I just finished watching the movie Rubber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G5pyFhmAqE) and I thought it was interesting

Yeah they need to make a live action magic the gathering movie.

id like to see a live action half life movie.

It's about branding

Sometimes Hollywood has a few completed scripts laying around; So to get some of them into production, they need an easily recognizable brand to attach to the script so they can market it to audiences.

guess thats why they chose hasbro

I would think it's impossible to have a "fresh" idea. As long as the movie executes the plot well like Christopher Nolan's Batman series or X-Men: First Class, I won't care as much.

In fact, when you think about it, all ideas are recycled or taken from another source so it's not fresh. But it's how well you execute the idea.

That reminds me, have you seen Escape from City 17?

And before you ask, according to Wikipedia, they're working on a top secret project that is taking most of the producer's time... So yeah.

yeah. it was awsome. but id still like to see more of the game make it into live action.

Those movies actually look awesome, I would watch them.

And to think there was someone insulting older movies the other day, goes to show you that the current movies are way worse than older ones 8)
