Margot Robbie, renowned for her success with the Barbie movie, is now setting her sights on another beloved classic.
Lionsgate Announces Live-Action Monopoly Movie
Margot Robbie, fresh off her deal to bring The Sims to the big screen, is now setting her sights on another iconic property: Hasbro's Monopoly board game. Lionsgate made waves at CinemaCon by revealing that Robbie, along with her LuckyChap partners Tom Ackerley and Josie McNamara, will produce a live-action adaptation of Monopoly.
This announcement comes after years of anticipation, with Lionsgate initially attached to the project in 2015. Despite previous setbacks, the studio assures fans that the Monopoly movie is very much alive.
Monopoly has become one of the world's most iconic board games. While it lacks a traditional narrative, the game's enduring popularity and recognizable mascot, Mr. Monopoly, provide fertile ground for creative exploration. Lionsgate Chairman Adam Fogelson expressed confidence in LuckyChap's ability to bring a fresh perspective to the film, citing the company's track record of thoughtful project selection and successful production.Robbie's involvement in the Monopoly movie adds another feather to her cap as a producer. A role that she's been fulfilling very successfully in recent years. But despite her star power, we can't confirm whether she will have an on-screen role as well. With Robbie's passion for storytelling and LuckyChap's creativity, the Monopoly movie promises to be a highly-successful blockbuster.
