As in, a movie based on the board game Risk
Belgrad pointed to the success of movies from toys Transformers and G.I. Joe (but not to the dismal movie from the board game Clue) to claim audiences have “shown a great desire for films that bring to life everything that has made these franchise properties stand the test of time. The strategic thinking and the tactical gambles that players must take in the game are what make RISK a classic, thoroughly engaging game. Those elements translated into an action-packed, thrilling story are what will make this a uniquely exciting movie.”
I’ve already tried rolling to disbelieve. Didn’t work.
I can’t believe they are knocking Clue. They must have seen a different movie than I did. Because this one rocked.
These are probably the same people who always tried to hold Asia before taking Africa, Europe, and Australia.
Assuming they move the Risk setting to the present day, a spinoff movie is also within reach: Battleship.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for a Scrabble movie starring Johnny Depp though.
Hollywood has been out of ideas for the last 10 years or more. This proves it again. But no worries Moe, it should have explosions and lots of special effects.
Undoubtedly involving an endless action sequence of the invasion of New Guinea.
