The classic board game Monopoly will be the subject of a live-action movie starring actress Margot Robbie.
The 33- yr- ancient celeb along with her spouse, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara may relieve the project under their LuckyChap banner, per IndieWire. Lionsgate may distribute the movie, and Hasbro Entertainment will produce it. The announcement was made Wednesday night during Lionsgate’s CinemaCon 2024 display.
” Monopoly is a major home — pun completely intended”, LuckyChap said in a statement. This activity has resonated throughout the world for years, just like all of the best IP, and we are so excited to bring it to life alongside the fantastic Lionsgate and Hasbro teams.
According to the outlet, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement on Wednesday that” I could hardly imagine a better production team for this dearest and beloved brand than LuckyChap.” They are “exceptional manufacturers who choose their jobs with wonderful consideration and care, and add Monopoly with a obvious point of view.”
We are incredibly excited to get working on what we all believe will be their next big thing, he continued.
Zev Foreman, Hasbro Entertainment Head of Film, even had glowing things to say about the new relationship. ” As one of the most memorable games in the world, Monopoly provides an amazing system for narrative possibilities”, he said. ” We are thrilled to have Lionsgate and LuckyChap as partners in bringing this historical piece of favorite culture to the great screen,” said the company.
