Hasbro plans 'Risk' movie

By Staff -- Playthings, 11/4/2009 6:05:00 PM

CULVER CITY, Calif.—Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia Pictures has been signed for a feature film based on Hasbro's board game Risk.

The film will be produced and developed by Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir, the toymaker’s CEO and managing director for motion pictures, respectively, and Overbrook Entertainment's James Lassiter.

"We are thrilled to be working with tremendous partners like Sony Pictures and Overbrook Entertainment on Risk," said Goldner. "Like so many of Hasbro's brands, Risk resonates with consumers of multiple generations around the world. We can't wait to re-imagine this brand into a motion picture."

Risk was invented in 1957 by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse as La Conquete du Monde (The Conquest of the World). Two years later, Parker Brothers published the game in the U.S. as Risk.
