Hollywood new movie ideas have officially gone crazy

Universal Pictures has made a series of deals with Hasbro to adapt board games and toys into big screen movies. Last year the studio signed Ridley Scott to develop a movie based on Monopoly, and just last week they announced that Platinum Dunes was developing a movie based around the Ouija board, and Etan Cohen was writing a screenplay for Candyland with Enchanted director Kevin Lima to direct.

Now: Variety reports that the studio has signed Steve Oedekerk to write a big screen adaptation of Stretch Armstrong.

Kenner released the toy in 1976, a 13-inch blond-haired muscled action figure whose limbs could be stretched to nearly four feet. The plan is to start over and develop a superhero comedy out of the property.

Only a matter of time before we hear of a new big screen adaption based on kid's pet rocks

WHOEVER it may be. Just know in this new movie age, Murphy will be getting something brutal when they put in that work on him.
