Lionsgate's upcoming Monopoly movie has found its writers in John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the creative duo behind the critically acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Daley and Goldstein will pen the screenplay for this adaptation of Hasbro's iconic board game. The film will be produced by Margot Robbie through her production company, LuckyChap.
Daley and Goldstein's impressive resume extends beyond Honor Among Thieves, encompassing their original film Mayday and contributions to major studio projects like The Flash and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The journey to bring Monopoly to the big screen has been a long one, with various attempts dating back to 2007 when Ridley Scott expressed interest in directing. Subsequent efforts, including scripts by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (2011) and Andrew Niccol (2015), and involvement from Kevin Hart and Tim Story (2019), ultimately failed to materialize.
However, Lionsgate's acquisition of eOne from Hasbro has breathed new life into the project, paving the way for this latest iteration. With Daley and Goldstein at the helm, hopes are high for a successful adaptation of the beloved board game.
