Margot Robbie has apparently taken a liking to game adaptations. After she already shone in the cinema as the most famous toy doll in the world, a film about the most famous board game in the world is now to follow: Monopoly.
As Lionsgate announced at CinemaCon, it will be a live-action film. In addition to Margot Robbie, the toy company Hasbro is also involved in the implementation. No details about the plot have been revealed yet. With a view to Barbie implementation, the upcoming Monopoly film is likely to receive a fair amount of criticism from capitalism.
According to Lionsgate, Monopoly is the most popular board game brand in the world with a global awareness rating of 99 percent. It is available in more than 100 countries around the world and has sold almost half a billion copies since 1935. It is not yet known when the film will be released in cinemas.
By the way, Monopoly is not the only game adaptation that is still on Margot Robbie’s list. Just a few weeks ago it came to light that she was also planning a movie based on the classic game “The Sims”. Kate Herron is set to direct and write the screenplay. Publisher Electronic Arts also has a hand in the game. However, concrete information is still in short supply here.
With Barbie, the actress and producer created the most successful film of the past year. It grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide. It’s no wonder that the associated production company LuckyChap has other projects like this in mind. We can’t wait to see what awaits us. As soon as there is news about the two game adaptations, we will of course keep you up to date.
