Almost anything can and has been adapted into a movie: video games, true crime stories, comics, Twitter threads, and memes are all old hat when it comes to source material. Even a doll can inspire a cinematic blockbuster. So what could possibly be left? Well, over the last year, Netflix has been committing to a new strategy. Is this the next adaptation frontier, or did the streamer buy a ticket to doom?
According to Deadline, Netflix has optioned the rights to the board game Ticket to Ride, and is developing a movie written by Ben Mekler and Chris Amick. The hit board game has players take charge of their own railways as they plan routes from city to city on various maps. The movie will presumably be about more than that.
