Actress Margot Robbie, star of the blockbuster film ‘Barbie’, teamed up with the toy brand Hasbro to create a film based on ‘Monopoly‘, one of the most popular board games in the world. According to Variety magazine, Robbie is involved in the project as a producer through her company LuckyChaps, which has already backed ‘Barbie’ and is also working on bringing a story inspired by the computer game ‘The Sims’ to the big screen.
LuckyChap, co-founded by Robbie, her husband Tom Ackerley and her partner Josie McNamara, is collaborating with Hasbro, which has the intellectual property for ‘Monopoly,’ and film studio Lionsgate, which has the development rights, the publication indicates. The company has not released details beyond the fact that it will be a film with real actors and not animation, but this Wednesday the head of Lionsgate, Adams Fogelson, said at CinemaCon in Las Vegas that LuckyChap is clear about what it is going to do .
“They are exceptional producers who choose their projects with a lot of thought and care, and they join ‘Monopoly’ with a clear point of view,” said Fogelson, who predicted that this will be “their next blockbuster” after the best-selling ‘Barbie’ . At the end of March, entertainment media revealed that LuckyChaps is producing a “The Sims” movie together with the game’s developer, Electronic Arts, and the production company Vertigo Entertainment, and that it will be directed by Kate Herron (‘Loki’).
The commercial success of ‘Barbie’, which had the highest global collection of 2023 with 1.4 billion dollars, has triggered demand for LuckyChap, producer of other recent titles such as ‘Saltburn’, ‘Birds of Prey’, ‘I, Tonya’ or ‘A promising young woman’.
