The Next Tim Burton Movie?

Deadline reports that Dreamworks got the rights to a story based on the board game, "Monsterpocalypse", and Tim Burton is in talks as the director. The game would lend itself to sorta Jumanji-esque movie; it's about battling monsters in a large city. This isn't at all certain, probably just more internet rumors. So far the only name tied to it is game creator, Matt Wilson, as co-producer. More info to come, I'm sure, until then follow the link to a video of the game set up at Gen Con http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFjSY7TQ4x0&feature=player_embedded
