Margot Robbie is making a Monopoly film after “Barbie”.

“I couldn’t imagine a better production team for this beloved and iconic brand than LuckyChap,” Adam Fogelson, chairman of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said in a press release Wednesday. “They are exceptional producers who choose their projects with great consideration and care and come to Monopoly with a clear point of view.”

LuckyChap, which Robbie runs with her husband Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara, was instrumental in the success of “Barbie.” After the company joined the production team, Robbie convinced Mattel and Warner Bros. of the film's enormous potential and the need for Greta Gerwig to direct.

The film grossed more than $1 billion at the box office last summer and became a pop culture hit. Fans flocked to theaters dressed in pink costumes and glitter to celebrate the film. “Barbie” nabbed an Oscar in March when Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” won best original song.

“Monopoly is a top property – pun fully intended,” LuckyChap said in a press release. “Like all the best IPs, this game has been loved worldwide for generations and we are thrilled to bring this game to life alongside the wonderful teams at Lionsgate and Hasbro.”

Robbie and LuckyChap are on the rise with toy and game-themed projects. Last month, Robbie's production arm announced a film based on “The Sims,” ​​a popular video game in which players guide simulated people through simulated lives. The game enjoyed great popularity in the early 2000s and is still available today in various new editions.

Despite some speculation online that Robbie might be carving out a niche for herself as a writer of games and toy films, her company has worked on many non-game productions since “Barbie,” including “Saltburn” and “My Old Ass.” “.

A film about the capitalist board game Monopoly will be another attempt by Hasbro to turn its intellectual property into a box office success. So far there have been mixed results. Although Transformers films continue to come out in droves and rake in millions at the box office, only one (a spinoff, mind you) has received critical acclaim. Likewise, the toy company's films Battleship (2012) and Power Rangers (2017), as well as films based on the Ouija board game and GI Joe, were critically panned and had mediocre box office returns.

After the success of “Barbie” and the animated “Lego Movie,” Hollywood shifted its focus to toy movies. There's already an “emotional, down-to-earth and dark” story about Hot Wheels cars from JJ Abrams (keyword: Lens Flare) in development, as well as a “Polly Pocket” film from Lena Dunham. And Vin Diesel has already punched his ticket to produce a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie. Mattel also has films about — deep breath — American Girl dolls, Barney, the Magic 8 Ball, Major Matt Mason action figure, Masters of the Universe, Thomas the Tank Engine, Uno card game and View-Master eye toy.

It's unclear what a Monopoly movie will look like. The more than century-old board game is a largely luck-based competition to acquire real estate, whose only recognizable character is the Monopoly Man in the Top Hat (or Rich Uncle Milburn Pennybags). Zev Foreman, head of Hasbro Entertainment's film division, said the game “provides an incredible platform for storytelling opportunities.”

Director Ridley Scott told Vulture back in 2010 that he had an idea for a Monopoly movie “with big houses and funny top hats and stuff.” Hasbro scrapped the idea and reimagined it as a Donald Trump-like character who has to work with real estate tycoons. “It’s about greed,” he told Vulture. “…Greed will hopefully be hysterically funny.”

Some people have already theorized that the film will mimic the game itself: “It'll go on way too long and the ending will be really obvious an hour later.” wrote Robert Colvile on X
