"Monopoly Movie Script by Dungeons & Dragons Writers"

The upcoming Monopoly movie from Lionsgate has enlisted John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein as its writers. These talented filmmakers, known for their work on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, will bring their expertise to the screenplay adaptation of Hasbro's iconic board game. Margot Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, is set to produce this highly anticipated film.

In addition to their work on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Daley and Goldstein have recently written and directed the original film Mayday. Their writing credits also include notable projects like The Flash and Spider-Man: Homecoming, showcasing their versatility and skill in crafting engaging stories.

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 recruited Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski to pen the script, but that project ultimately fizzled out. Another attempt in 2015 saw Lionsgate and Hasbro collaborate on a script by Andrew Niccol, followed by reports in 2019 that actor Kevin Hart and director Tim Story would be involved. However, none of these efforts came to fruition.

The recent acquisition of eOne by Lionsgate from Hasbro has reignited the project, setting the stage for Daley and Goldstein to take the helm. Fans of the classic board game can now look forward to a fresh take on Monopoly, hoping that this version will successfully "pass Go" and bring the beloved game to life on the big screen.
