Lionsgate's Monopoly Movie to Get Screenplay From Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Writers

Mar 15,25

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the creative minds behind the critically acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, have been tapped to write the screenplay for Lionsgate's upcoming Monopoly movie. The announcement confirms Daley and Goldstein's involvement in adapting Hasbro's iconic board game for the big screen. Margot Robbie, through her production company LuckyChap, will produce the film.

Daley and Goldstein's recent work includes not only Honor Among Thieves, but also their original film, Mayday. Their impressive resume also boasts writing credits on The Flash and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The journey to bring Monopoly to the cinema has been a long one. Early discussions date back to 2007, with Ridley Scott initially expressing interest in directing. A 2011 iteration saw Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski attached to write the script, but the project ultimately stalled. Further attempts were made in 2015 with Lionsgate and Hasbro collaborating on a version penned by Andrew Niccol, and in 2019, Kevin Hart and Tim Story were reportedly involved.

However, Lionsgate's acquisition of eOne from Hasbro appears to have revitalized the project, paving the way for this new iteration. With Daley and Goldstein at the helm, hopes are high that this version of the Monopoly film will finally make it to the screen.
