I love the idea, just think about it finally get to now why that chap with the top hat is always smiling and never ages a day. I say we set up a betting pool of ideas lets say 3 mini\'s a go. I\'m saying his an eygiptian priest who found that sacrificing young maidens and mixing their blood with pulped pink £500 notes = eternal life, hence kirstin dunst and others. Think of the sequels could be on to a winner here, just for uber they could do a transformers sub plot!!!

Could be, considering the game Monopoly is based on the economic theories of Henry George, who argued that monopolistic ownership of land was the cause of poverty (His book: Progress and Poverty).
George argued that much of the value of a free market was captured by the minority who owned the land, and that the system of economic rents inhibited productivity and resulted in a surge in poverty.
Thus, in the game, one person ends up monopolizing resources and getting rich, while everyone else is destitute.

Well at least Vince isn\'t writing the script. :D Tie me to the Reading Railroad Tracks already.

Hey Vince maybe you could make some money doing a lawyer board game, like \"Ambulance Chaser\". Just Kidding, I know you\'re not that kind of lawyer.:D:D

I think the film might send out the wrong signals to kids though, with all the get out of jail free cards. I can see the headlines now \"Child rob\'s store, when questioned about the act he produced a \"monoply\" get out of jail card. Police stress the fact that these are not real and that Paris Hilton all ready tryed and failed when she produced one\":D

Read this today, someone\'s idea of the plot lol

\"OK, here\'s how it would work
Set in Atlantic City, so as to remain faithful to the original game board.

A greedy developer, I.M.A. Bastard (Christopher Walken) attempts to get a MONOPOLY on Atlantic City properties. His biggest obstacle is an eccentric old coot called Uncle Moneybags (Billy Crystal), who owns about 1/3 of the board...er...city. Bastard conspires to wrest control of Moneybags\' properties, and is opposed by the old man\'s sexy niece (Scarlett Johanssen), his handsome nephew (Shia LeBeouf), and his niece\'s pillow-fighting best friend (Tara Reid).

Uncle Moneybags\' nephew hires a sharp lawyer (Orlando Bloom) to help out, while the niece and her friend stage a long pillowfight in slow-motion while both wear skimpy lingerie.

Meanwhile, the mysterious Railroad Baron (Johnny Depp), who controls all four railroads, competes with the Electric Company\'s owner, Miss Voltage (Beyonce), and the Water Work\'s owner, (Aquaman), to try and build a hotel on a Free Parking lot.

Bastard finds out that if he gets certain magical relics of power, he can control Atlantic City. He finds the dog (Joan Rivers), the old battleship (Rosie O\'Donell), the shoe (Shaq\'s left sneaker), but is foiled from getting any other artifacts thanks to Miss Chance (Angelina Jolie). Aided by Professor Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), Chance secures the flat iron (played by an emaciated Lindsay Lohan), and the thimble (the AFLAC duck).

Watch for a cameo appearance by Pamela Anderson as \"The Community Chest\".

Additional Cast:
Beauty Contest Judge- Quentin Tarantino
Cop Who Sends You To Jail Without Passing Go- Steve Carrell
Get Out of Jail Free Card- Nicholas Cage
The Banker- Joe Pesci
The top hat relic- Kirsten Dunst\"
