John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the creative duo 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's LuckyChap Entertainment will produce.
Beyond their work on *Honor Among Thieves*, Daley and Goldstein recently wrote and directed the original film *Mayday*. Their impressive resume also includes contributions to *The Flash* and *Spider-Man: Homecoming*.The journey to bring Monopoly to the silver screen has been a long and winding one. Initial reports surfaced as far back as 2007, with Ridley Scott expressing interest in directing. Later attempts, including a 2011 script by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, and a 2015 version penned by Andrew Niccol, ultimately failed to materialize. A 2019 collaboration involving Kevin Hart and Tim Story also didn't come to fruition.
However, Lionsgate's acquisition of eOne from Hasbro has seemingly breathed new life into the project. This latest iteration, with Daley and Goldstein at the helm, marks a fresh start for the long-awaited Monopoly film adaptation. Let's hope this version finally passes Go and doesn't collect $200... yet.
