Monopoly Movie Hires Dungeons & Dragons Film Writers

Lionsgate and Hasbro are gearing up to adapt the classic board game Monopoly into a feature film, with the screenplay being crafted by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, known for their work on the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves film. As reported by Deadline, this collaboration is aimed at creating an engaging story that captures the essence of the beloved game. The film will be produced by Margot Robbie's LuckyChap Entertainment. Lionsgate's co-president expressed their excitement about having these accomplished writers bring their innovative storytelling to this new project.

The specific release date for the Monopoly movie has not been announced yet, but it is one of the highly anticipated projects in development by Lionsgate and Hasbro.

Monopoly has been a cultural staple since its inception in the early 20th century, evolving from a simple board game into a significant element of popular culture. The game involves property trading, financial management, and strategy, where players navigate the board to accumulate wealth. With this film adaptation, there is potential for a unique storyline that goes beyond the traditional game mechanics, much like what was attempted in the recent Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves film, which successfully translated game elements into an engaging narrative. Fans are eager to see how this iconic board game will be transformed for the big screen.
