... Colonialism the Movie?

That'll go over well.

Well it worked so well for Battleship. Idiots.

Counterpoint:

I'm not saying this is a good idea, just that sometimes good movies come from board games.

But Clue was just murder mystery, it's already a proven story arc.

Catan has no story as far as i remember so it’d probably be like dnd. Random stories set in the world. So you could take any proven story arc and just repurpose them for Catan.

I kinda liked Battleship 🫤

The irony of seeing Netflix on the receiving end of a bad trade for rights to...a Catan movie

It better have at least 3 "I got wood for sheep" lines at key moments

3 months until we have Stranger Things: Settlers of The Upside Down

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Why would they settle Straya, moyte?

Minecraft movie but for gen X

I fully expect theaters full of nerds (that's why I'm going) to throw popcorn and be awful nuisances when they say longest road

I predict this is going to be even better than the battleship movie!

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

Maybe they can get Jared Leto to star. Ohh, and JJ Abrams to write the script.

The actual fans ofcthe board game isn't a big enough market to justify the expense, so the movie will need to be modified to appeal to a new audience.
