Is it bad that I kind of want to see this? Is it worse that I want to hear someone say, "You sunk my battleship"? Anyway, I researched some of the upcoming releases, and Battleship isn't the only board game to make it's way to the big screen.
Here are a couple more movies set to be released in 2013:
Jenga
Ordinary construction worker Alan Hall is placed in an extraordinary position, when a failed kidnapping attempt lands a terrorist cell in his building. As the Jenga Corporation's new sky scraper becomes a battle field, this ex-army engineer is the only man who can save the young daughter of a foreign diplomat. Using his knowledge of the building's blue prints he has to outwit the heavily armed rebels, and save the girl before the building is destroyed.
Operation:
The year is 2042, and android technology has influenced every aspect of our lives. The medical field has benefited the most from artificial intelligence, but one doctor disagrees. Milton Brace was once considered the best O.R. doctor in the world. Now, he is a figure head in a hospital run by robots. When a earthquake hits the metropolitan area, his hospital is swamped with patients. Things get even worse when flooding shorts the power to the hospital. Now, Dr. Brace must work with the AI to save as many people as he can before the robots power cells run out.
Monopoly:
Jonathan Edgar Holmes is a self made man. As young hoodlum orphan living in the streets of Brooklyn, he made his way out of the ghetto investing in tech companies in the early nineties. His company now controls the cell phone market. But no one gets to the top without making a couple of enemies. With a pending S.E.C. investigation, and ghosts from his past popping up, he will have to use all of his corporate cunning to stay out of jail.
Okay, so none of these are real, but I can dream. My apologies to the following games that I couldn't make a poster for: Crossfire, Simon Says, and Hungry, Hungry, Hippos.
