According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Ridley Scott, who has been attached as a producer on Monopoly and has been mentioned as a possible director, is now officially attached to helm the project, with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic Blade Runner." Considering that the game recently traded in its multicolored paper money for a debit card system, it looks like the futurization has already begun. My only question is whether this will be a futuristic American city, with a Boardwalk and a Baltic Avenue, or if they'll go for the international market and base it on the World Edition, where you can buy and sell entire cities from around the world, including such exciting locales as Belgrade and Vancouver. (Please, please, please let it take place in Vancouver.)

Of course, if they really want it to be a science-fiction movie, they could just base it on the Transformers edition, but then all property disputes would be settled by the race car and the Scottie dog transforming into robots and beating the snot out of each other.
