Sony Pictures has announced that a movie adaptation of The Settlers of Catan is in the works with the studio acquiring the rights for a film based on the popular tabletop game.
“We’re excited to be working with Sony to bring the iconic world of Catan to life.
The popular board game has sold over 25 million copies in 28 languages worldwide, bringing tabletop gaming back into game nights around the world.
With movies based on all kinds of toys and the like – such as The LEGO Movie and The Emoji Movie – studios are looking to license films based on popular pieces of pop culture and Settlers of Catan is an unsurprising candidate.
