Collider had the chance to speak to Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner about the upcoming "Stretch Armstrong," "Candy Land," "Monopoly" and "Battleship" movies currently in the works.
"'Stretch Armstrong' will probably be our first movie out," said Goldner. "It's already slated for April 2011. Steve Oderkirk is writing the script. 'Candy Land' is being written by Etan Cohen and Kevin Lima is our director; he did 'Enchanted.' 'Monopoly' is Ridley Scott. 'Battleship,' we're working on a 'Battleship' movie it's really gonna be a lot of fun."
Regarding "Candy Land": "'Candy Land' is not just about the board game. If you really think about it, it's an adventure that a kid goes on with his parents when they go across that board. It's an adventure game so think of that as the beginning point and take off from there."
Regarding "Monopoly": "'Monopoly' has this wonderful history. If you'll remember, 'Monopoly' was literally invented at The [Great] Depression, so that idea, this fiction that's really there, this non-fiction fiction that's really there in the game and in the fact that there’s such great roots to this brand and the history of the brand, we bring this to life with a story about families."
Regarding "Battleship": "Oh, I'm not going to tell you quite yet but I will say that it's everything you could imagine in a 'Battleship' movie. It's really a phenomenal idea."
