The Real Story Behind The Monopoly McDonald's Theft Ben Affleck And Matt Damon Want To Make Into A Movie

Real life buddies Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will be teaming up to tell a very crazy real-life story. It was recently reported that Affleck and Damon had paid $1 million for the rights to an article chronicling a decade-long scam in which the man responsible for the security of McDonald's Monopoly promotions was giving away millions of dollars to a complicated network of "winners." Affleck is set to direct with Damon starring, and for those curious about the story that will be inspiring their movie, it's a fascinating story.

Though the events that caused McDonald's public embarrassment wrapped back in 2001, the story was chronicled in deep detail by crime writer Jeff Maysh. Published in Daily Beast on July 28, the 8,700-word web feature was almost instantly the subject of a Hollywood bidding war. 20th Century Fox and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Pearl Street Films reportedly beat out bids from Universal, Netflix, and Warner Bros. Deadpool 2 writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick will adapt the screenplay.

It's easy to see why these major Hollywood studios were desperate to get their hands on this true-crime story. Its too-absurd-to-be-real spirit is perfect for a movie. Essentially, it follows an ex-cop named Jerome Jacobson who oversaw security on the McDonald's Monopoly sweepstakes. During his early years on the job, Jacobson was so obsessed with security that he would ask to check his employee's shoes to make sure they weren't smuggling game pieces. At some point that attitude took a turn, and in 1995 Jacobson started smuggling his own game pieces.

Jerome Jacobson would reportedly exchange prize-winning pieces for duds and then would give out those pieces to his friends and family. To keep suspicion away, he would often work through a proxy, who would be the recorded winner, but would give a chunk of the prize to Jacobson's butcher, for example. Jacobson would also receive a cut of the prize money. Eventually, the network expanded to include unsavory types, such as the mob.

From 1995 to 2001, Jacobson ran this game without the knowledge of his employer or McDonald's. The FBI didn't get wind of the scam until 2000, when an anonymous tip was brought to their attention. From there, they investigated Jacobson and his associates for a year, collecting evidence and a building a case. In 2001, they sprung their trap and arrested Jacobson and several of his largest associates. It was said that Jacobson gave away $24 million in prize winnings.

So yeah, pretty nuts story. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's involvement is sure to give this some extra bit of attention, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was aiming to be an Oscar contender.

Apparently, The Lawyer In Jurassic Park Had A Whole Scheme To Kill Jeff Goldblum's Character Off

Apparently, The Lawyer In Jurassic Park Had A Whole Scheme To Kill Jeff Goldblum's Character Off

Jeff Goldblum has been in a lot of tentpole movies lately, and he has a stint in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom coming up. (At least in the States, those of you living elsewhere may have already caught it.) Because he's returning to the Jurassic Park franchise, he's shared many stories recently regarding his time on the original movie, and this week he told late night host Jimmy Kimmel there was a time that Martin Ferrero, who plays the lawyer in the original movie, tried to convince Jeff Goldblum they should switch places in the narrative. Per Goldblum:

I wouldn't even be in this movie if Marty Ferrero, the actor who played the lawyer in the first movie -- who gets eaten off the toilet, remember -- had had his way. We were flying to Hawaii, and I met him on the flight. Hawaii was the place where we first shot. We were going to shoot our first days, meet Steven Spielberg in Kauai... He says, 'Hey, I have an idea. I've been studying the script. What if, and we should pitch this both of us if you like this idea, to Steven Spielberg. What if your character doesn't just get banged and kind of his leg hurt and I get killed, you get killed [instead] and I get my leg broken?

Clearly, Dr. Ian Malcolm getting killed would have changed the Jurassic Park franchise as a whole, as Dr. Ian Malcolm became a fan-favorite character and the lead in the follow-up The Lost World: Jurassic Park. There is precedent for Dr. Ian Malcolm to be dead in this universe, however, as he spends most of Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park dying slowly and is retconned back in the sequel book by the author after fans loved Jeff Goldblum's take in the movie. Still, even before Jeff Goldblum knew the character was going to be iconic, it's difficult to see how he'd go for lawyer Gennaro's lot, which in the movie ended up being dying while sitting on a toilet.

In case you might think Martin Ferrero was pulling a fast on on Jeff Goldblum, the actor also said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that it seemed as if Ferrero was being sincere with his pitch. So, the best that Goldblum could do was respond nicely, saying,

I was like, 'Well, I dunno...'

If you'd like to hear more from Jeff Goldblum recounting his time on movie sets, you can check out the full late night interview, below.

As for Jeff Goldblum, the actor has a cushy gig in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, returning as Dr. Ian Malcolm, who does not believe the dinosaurs should be rescued off of Isla Nublar as a volcanic eruption looms. You can check out the character returning to the big screen this weekend, or get a taste of the role with the full trailer for the upcoming sequel.

Holmes and Watson Critics Consensus. The lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson than does Holmes and Watson.



Before going to see Endgame, I had decided that if I liked it half as much as Infinity War, then I would be satisfied. The fact that I have to debate in my head about which one I like more is a great thing, lemmetellya. I think that if I had to choose, I would go with Infinity War. Personally, I find the writing to be overall superior in that film.

Chris Rock Is Rebooting The Saw Franchise

Chris Rock Is Rebooting The Saw Franchise

The horror genre is in a bit of a renaissance right now. Rather than stale sequels, there are new exciting properties being brought to theaters. These movies are being met with critical and box office acclaim, with projects like Get Out even getting Oscar attention. But the genre is also built on long-running franchises, and it looks like one of the newer classics is going to be getting a reboot: Saw. What's more, comedian Chris Rock is involved in the developing project.

While Chris Rock isn't a name usually associated with horror, he's going to intimately involved with rebooting the Saw franchise, as both an executive producer and story writer. The gore-heavy property has typically been ultra serious and cruel, Rock's point of view and comedic background should help to bring new life. Liongsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake issued a statement with the announcement of the forthcoming reboot, explaining:

When Chris Rock came to us and described in chilling detail his fantastic vision that reimagines and spins off the world of the notorious Jigsaw Killer, we were all-in. Saw is one of the highest-grossing horror franchises of all time and its one of Lionsgates most successful film series. This upcoming film will still be as mind bending and intense as all the previous Saw films. Chris conceived this idea and it will be completely reverential to the legacy of the material while reinvigorating the brand with his wit, creative vision and passion for this classic horror franchise.

The Saw franchise hasn't spent much time out of theaters, but it looks like the next installment will be notably different from its predecessors. And it's arriving soon, as the untitled project is set to hit theaters in October of 2020.

This statement from Lionsgate (via Variety) should illicit a mixture of reactions. Obviously fans of the Saw franchise will be thrilled to see more horrifying traps on the silver screen. But Chris Rock might not be the first person that moviegoers associate with the genre, let alone such an infamously gory one. Then again, the Saw films have generally been formulaic, so perhaps a fresh perspective is what the property needs to remain relevant in the midst of the horror renaissance.

Chris Rock also gave a brief statement regarding his excitement for the upcoming Saw reboot, which he'll be producing and helping create the story for. He said:

Ive been a fan of Saw since the first film in 2004. I am excited by the opportunity to take this to a really intense and twisted new place.

Twisted is right, as the Saw franchise is classified under the sub-genre "torture porn." Movieogers have watched behind their hands as countless characters are massacred in bloody ways, usually in excruciating physical pain. The sub-genre that was made famous through the Saw and Hostel franchises, although the overall horror world seems to be going in a different direction recently.

If Chris Rock is able to bring something new to the Saw franchise, it could give the property new momentum. To do this, moviegoers going to need more than just the terrifying traps, like character-driven story and some moments of levity. We'll just have to see if Rock can help make this happen.

The Saw reboot will arrive in theaters on October 23, 2020. In the meantime, check out our 2019 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.
