Board 8 > Tonka Trucks, Candy Land, and Risk movies being made. :(

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sony Pictures has jumped aboard the Hasbro bandwagon that Universal jumped off of. Sony is developing the animated film Tonka, based on the 65-year-old kiddie car brand. The studio announced the arrangement in a press release, with Sony Pictures Animation and Happy Madison Productions producing the movie with Hasbro. Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo’s Happy Madison is also producing a movie version of Hasbro’s Candy Land for Sony, and the studio is separately developing Hasbro’s Risk.

I for one wonder how the hell does Hollywood think they can make children games that has no plot whatsoever into 90+ minute movies. I mean, what goes on in their heads?

Especially after how Battleship has ended up being a massive bomb.

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

I'm surprised that of all Hasbro franchises, no Hollywood studio has picked up the dreaded ponies yet...

They should make a movie based on the the boardgame Life. That's the best boardgame.

Lies and slander. They already made a movie based on the best board game and the movie was great. Life can't hold a candlestick in the billiards room to Clue.

I'm sorry, but CGI (Surely not live action!) ponies sound like a terrible idea which would drive even the most hardcore Bronies away.

Going by the posts on that Brony documentary topic, that would be a GOOD thing!

Maybe one of them will be like Clue!

Who am I kidding, no they won't =(.

This makes sense because Battleship made FOURTY NINE TRILLION US DOLLARSSSSS already since being released

I never said anything about banging her. Also, I wouldn't bang her. -LusterSoldier (on a fat pageant mom whose daughter chugs Mt. Dew)

Adam Sandler.

Producing a movie about a board game.

This. This is a new low. It could only get worse if Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer made a parody of it later on.

Brawl is like ZSS' breasts. Well rounded for casual players

To be fair, Risk could be a GREAT movie in the right hands, and Candy Land will probably just be some kids movie (the board game DOES have characters in it. I even remember playing a Candyland PC game when I was a kid,)

Counterpoint: There are plenty of things to horrify bronies with. Like pony rule 34 fanfiction.

i find it funny that, like 15-20 years ago, television used to be the place for lazy, uninspired ideas, and the movies had most of the quality writing and original ideas, and now it is pretty much the exact opposite

Both good countercounterpoints. Aside: You can't really terrify any Internet denizen. You can make them laugh uncomfortably at most.
