According to Deadline, Dreamworks could be prepping a film adaptation of of the popular kaiju-themed collectible miniatures game, Monsterpocalypse, and it looks like they want Tim Burton helming the project.

"I'm hearing that DreamWorks has just acquired the screen rights to Monsterpocalypse, and they are already making overtures to Burton to be the creative catalyst.

Talks are in the early stages, and right now only game creator Matt Wilson is attached to be co-producer. Monsterpocalypse is a board game that involves battles against a variety of enemy monsters that take place in a metropolis filled with buildings."


Monsterpocalypse comes to theaters in 2012. The film is directed by Tim Burton.

    What are you smoking? Your underwear. Ge, Burton is a visionary, if you don't like it then don't watch it when it comes out.

    ...I smell family friendly dark comedy starring Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp as the voices of two of the main monsters. Anyone care to disprove?
