Monopoly is headed to primetime, with Donald Trump and R.J. CutlerR.J. Cutler plotting a reality series based on the classic board game.
After intense interest from several producers, Hasbro has pacted with Trump and Cutler to exec produce a TV take on Monopoly.

None of the parties involved in the project would comment on specifics of the show. Trump and Cutler have meetings set up at the Big Four next week. Project reps Trump's first foray into reality production outside of "The Apprentice" brand.

While details of the Monopoly reality show are being kept under wraps, it seems logical that the skein will involve a game element in which contestants try to gather and improve properties in order to increase their ultimate net worth. Trump's numerous real estate holdings would provide plenty of potential platforms for the show.

Trump and Cutler will serve as exec producers of the project via their respective Trump LLC and Actual Reality shingles. Not yet clear is the extent of Trump's onscreen role in the show.
