Here Comes "Stretch Armstrong" And The "Hasbro" Films

I'm as sentimental as the next guy about my childhood days...but when I read this article I had to check that I was, indeed, reading "Variety" and not "The Onion." Hollywood is developing a film featuring "Stretch Armstrong" as part of a series of movies highlighting Hasbro toys and games.

Universal and Hasbro are also developing pics based on Monopoly, with Ridley Scott; Clue, with Gore Verbinski; Candyland, with Kevin Lima directing; Battleship, with Peter Berg at the helm; and Ouija, through Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes.
