Hollywood sensation Margot Robbie, along with her production company LuckyChap, is gearing up for another big project after the success of "Barbie". This time, they're diving into the world of the beloved board game "Monopoly". Teaming up with Hasbro and Lionsgate, Robbie is set to bring the iconic game to life on the silver screen.
Lionsgate recently secured the rights to develop the Monopoly movie as part of its acquisition of eOne. With Monopoly being a household name across the globe, available in over 100 countries and having sold nearly 500 million copies since its inception in 1935, the film adaptation is poised to be a major hit.
Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, made the announcement at CinemaCon, the annual gathering of the cinema industry in Las Vegas. He expressed excitement about collaborating with LuckyChap, praising their track record of success and their unique perspective on storytelling.
Margot Robbie, along with her husband Tom Ackerley, founded LuckyChap, which has previously produced hits like "Barbie". The film not only raked in over USD 1.4 billion worldwide but also received multiple Academy Award nominations, including a win for Best Original Song.
LuckyChap's portfolio boasts critically acclaimed projects such as "I, Tonya" and "Promising Young Woman". Their next venture includes producing Olivia Wilde's upcoming Christmas comedy "Naughty" for Universal Pictures.
With Margot Robbie's star power and LuckyChap's knack for successful productions, the Monopoly movie is already generating buzz as the next big blockbuster in the making.
