Sony has acquired the rights to the board game "Risk" known as "the classic board game of world conquest."

Doug Belgard, president of Columbia Pictures, says of the project:

“Hasbro has already seen tremendous success with Transformers and G.I. Joe and audiences have shown a great desire for films that bring to life everything that has made these franchise properties stand the test of time.

"The strategic thinking and the tactical gambles that players must take in the game are what make RISK a classic, thoroughly engaging game. Those elements translated into an action-packed, thrilling story are what will make this a uniquely exciting movie.”

Yawn.

Pretty sure they could have made a "world domination" war film without slapping the name "Risk" on it, but maybe it will appeal to a larger audience?

But we were more into "Monopoly" and "The Game Of Life" to be honest.

Are U looking forward to a "Risk" movie?
