EXCLUSIVE: Just because Tim Burton is heading the jury at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival doesn’t mean business stops. 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 early stage, and right now only game creator Matt Wilson is attached to be co-producer. Monsterpocalypse is a kaiju-themed collectible miniatures game. 
It’s a board game that involves battles against a variety of enemy monsters that take place in a metropolis filled with buildings. Interestingly, DreamWorks is also developing a film based on the Daniel H. Wilson robot attack novel Robopocalypse, which is being adapted by Cloverfield‘s Drew Goddard as a possible directing vehicle for Steven Spielberg. DreamWorks has several apocalyptic scenarios covered.

I can’t wait for the inevitable cross-over Robonsterpocalypse!
Dark Shadows is coming in 2011, Johnny Depp is signed on to do it, and filming is “supposed” to start later this year, if it hasn’t already.
What happened to “Dark Shadows”?
Has potential. Monsterpocalypse is an *awesome* game, with LOTS of good fluff. So long as the Lords of Cthul make an appearance, I’ll be in line on opening day
MonPoc is great but I would really like to see Matt Wilson have a movie made for Warmachine.
Why does this sound like a really, really bad idea. I thought Burton could make just about everything work until the Chocolate Factory and Alice left a bad taste in my mouth. Don’t count on this even making it to film, much less being directed by Burton.
This could only mean good things for Privateer Press. Especially with having such a high ranked director as Burton on board. I just hope that this does super well in the box office and Dreamworks considers doing a Warmachine movie as well.
