Monsterpocalypse wants Tim Burton
Posted by Rodneyon 12. 05. 2010in News Chat
The terribly fun Giant Monster destruction board game Monsterpocalypse is looking to be adapted to film. Perfect Man-in-suit opportunity here.
And it looks like in these early stages they are already setting their sights on Tim Burton to direct!
Dark Horizons shares:
DreamWorks Pictures is pursuing Tim Burton to take a crack at directing a film adaptation of the miniatures game “Monsterpocalypse” says Deadline.
The board game involves battles against a variety of enemy monsters that take place in a metropolis filled with buildings. Game creator Matt Wilson is attached as co-producer.
And then it can star Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter and have swirly shapes and frollicky dark music!
Now Burton might be on their wish list, but Burton’s dance card is getting pretty full already, so if they hope to have this film made they might have to wait him out, or find someone else.

That dig of yours was pretty unnceccesary. If you knew anything about Burton you’d know that the old school monster movies were one of the biggest influences on him as a child. I think this could be a perfect match. Although, I somehow doubt it will come about, with Tim directing anyway.
The “dig” was from a earlier video from college humor (I think) and is pretty much on the money, due to his recent flicks and some of his earlier ones as well.
to me his 2 best still are Big Fish (he was robbed of a nod that Oscar season)and Ed Wood
