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.
