Ben Affleck And Matt Damon Working On McDonald's Monopoly Film

By
True crime tales often make good source material for movies, and one about a scam involving a McDonald's Monopoly game is a doozy. The rights have now attracted 20th Century Fox, with Ben Affleck on to direct and Matt Damon considering starring in the untitled film.

In this case, the article source is Jeff Maysh's excellent piece for The Daily Beast entitled How An Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game And Stole Millions (you can read it here).

The story follows the tale of a former cop who rigged the game and stole more than $24 million, pocketing some and sharing the rest with co-conspirators who helped him run the scam, which included mobsters, psychic, strip-club owners, drug traffickers and a family of Mormons who falsely claimed to have won more than millions in cash and prizes. Deadpool duo Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese are the people tasked with turning that into a script.

Affleck and Damon will produce the film for Fox, which according to Deadline beat the likes of Warner Bros., Universal and Netflix to the punch.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

By
If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure
