More Hasbro Board Games and Toys Made Into Feature Films!

Hasbro, the toy and games company, has just announced it is making movie versions of the popular toy “G.I. Joe” and board games “Ouija Board”, “Candy Land”, “Trivial Pursuit” and “Monopoly”. Apparently the toy company is shooting for something akin to Marvel’s media saturation.

“Candy Land” could probably translate into a half-decent kids’ movie, and I suppose you could maybe make a real estate comedy called “Monopoly”, but isn’t this just reaching? We’ll see soon enough as the company has started the process of making these titles along with new versions of “Clue” and yet another movie about “Ouija Boards”. It seems Hollywood is getting more and more desperate for new material, how sad.
