Sony Gets Into “Risk”-y Business

riskWe’ve got Ridley Scott’s Monopoly on the horizon. We’ve got Peter Berg’s Battleship. We have Ouija. Risk? Hey, why not?

Sony Pictures has picked up the board game that is hell-bent on world domination. So what does that mean? Well, according to one of Columbia’s representatives, it means a world of possibilities:

“The strategic thinking and the tactical gambles that players must take in the game are what make Risk a classic, thoroughly engaging game,” said Columbia prexy Doug Belgrad. Those elements translated into an action-packed, thrilling story are what will make this a uniquely exciting movie.”

So what, like every war movie that has ever been released ever? How creative.

You can bet your bottom dollar that this film will come to fruition though — Hasbro has inked a deal with Sony to produce at least four movies based on their properties. If G.I. Joe factors into that, you’ve only got three to sit through.
