I don’t know about you, but when I talk Settlers of Catan, I’ve never once said “I really want a movie based on this game.” For those who don’t know about the game, it is a resource management board game where players compete to build settlements, cities, and roads across the island of Catan, which is divided into hexagonal tiles. By 2009, over 15 million games in the Catan series had been sold with The Washington Post calling it “the board game of our time.”
Now Gail Katz, who is best known for her producing credits for Air Force One and The Perfect Storm, has acquired the rights to bring Settlers of Catan to film or TV. “I’ve been wanting to see an adaptation of the game for years, ever since my Catan-obsessed college-aged kids introduced me to it,” Katz said in a statement. “The island of Catan is a vivid, visual, exciting and timeless world with classic themes and moral challenges that resonate today. There is a tremendous opportunity to take what people love about the game and its mythology as a starting point for the narrative.”
While this doesn’t set anything in stone yet, however Gail would not have acquire the rights if she didn’t intend to do something with them sometime soon.
