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
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
... Colonialism the Movie?
That'll go over well.
I predict this is going to be even better than the battleship movie!
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.
