"Lionsgate's Monopoly Film Scripted by Dungeons & Dragons Writers"

The upcoming Monopoly movie from Lionsgate has secured its writers in John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the dynamic duo behind the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Announced recently, Daley and Goldstein are set to pen the screenplay for this much-anticipated film adaptation of Hasbro's iconic board game. Adding to the excitement, Margot Robbie will produce the film under her banner, LuckyChap Entertainment.

Daley and Goldstein bring a wealth of experience to the project, having not only directed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves but also crafted the screenplay for their original film, Mayday. Their writing credits extend to high-profile films such as The Flash and Spider-Man: Homecoming, showcasing their versatility and knack for storytelling.

The journey to bring Monopoly to the big screen has been long and winding. Discussions about a Monopoly film date back to 2007 when Ridley Scott showed interest in directing. In 2011, Scott enlisted Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski to write the script, though that project never gained traction. Fast forward to 2015, Lionsgate and Hasbro collaborated on another attempt with Andrew Niccol at the helm of the scriptwriting. By 2019, it was reported that Kevin Hart and Tim Story were set to be involved, but those plans also fizzled out.

However, with Lionsgate's recent acquisition of eOne from Hasbro, the Monopoly film project has been revitalized. This new iteration, with Daley and Goldstein at the writing desk, promises a fresh take on the classic game. Fans are hopeful that this version will finally "pass Go" and bring the beloved game to life in a compelling cinematic experience.
