‘Monopoly’ Movie in the Works From Margot Robbie and Lionsgate

After taking on the plastic, fantastic world of Barbie Land, producer Margot Robbie is heading to the rich terrain of Monopoly.

Robbie’s company LuckyChap and her partners Tom Ackerley and Josie McNamara are producing a live-action feature film based on the ubiquitous real estate-inspired board game. Hasbro Entertainment, the backers of Monopoly, will also produce.

Lionsgate extended its development rights to the board game with its purchase of eOne, which was completed in December 2023. According to the studio, Monopoly is the world’s most popular board game brand, with 99% global awareness. It’s available in more than 100 countries across the globe, selling nearly half a billion copies going back to 1935.

It's the cheapest place to live on the whole board.

Just like an actual game of Monopoly: the movie will go on forever, nobody will win, and somebody will flip the table and rage-quit halfway through.

Mediterranean Ave-Jennifer Coolidge could resurrect her White Lotus lady and do weird stuff.
