What's the dullest thing you can think of? Playing board games? You're wrong - the correct answer was watching a movie based on a board game.

But that's what's going to happen. Universal has signed up with toy firm Hasbro to make a bunch of films based on Hasbro products, possibly starting with - seriously - a Monopoly movie by Sir Ridley Scott. Nobody seems to have much of a clue what this Hasbro/Universal Monopoly movie will be about, but if it wants to remain faithful to the game it'll need to be 10 hours long and cause a longstanding bitter rift within every audience who watches it.

Oh, and it'll need to be as dull as shit, too. And you thought movies based on videogames were rubbish.
