Universal Pictures has announced a five year development deal with Hasbro to produce movies based on Hasbro properties such as Monopoly, Candy Land, Clue, Ouija, Battleship, Magic, the Gathering, and Stretch Armstrong.

There was already a subpar Clue movie back in 1985. And of course we all remember the wretched Dungeons & Dragons cartoon and the abysmal movie. I don’t hold out much hope for a Magic, The Gathering or any these other properties. Imagine a Ouija movie… *shiver*
