Not satisfied with bit parts in every 80s movie ever made, Rubik’s Cube might soon get a movie to itself.

Following hot on the heels of the news that family favourite Monopoly is to be immortalised in movie form, we can report that Taylor Kitsch has been recruited to star in the film version of the Hasbro board game Battleship. Universal are the ones responsible for the the Battleship movie (as it is referred to in the bestforfilm towers), with Peter Berg manning the directorial helm.

In this world of book adaptations, videogame-turned-blockbuster and TV series: The Film, it was only a matter of time before movie makers turned to board games for inspiration. No? No, we didn’t think so either. But for better or for worse, Monopoly: The Movie seems to be underway. We investigated the potential film plot thus far, and we can promise you now, it’s worth a look.

The rumors are true. It’s not a practical joke, Monopoly the movie is in the making. Universal, Ridley Scott and Hasbro games are in production with a film that will most definitely be another one of those which make us recoil with embarrassment. A guy gets sucked gets sucked into the Monopoly world – need we say more?
