Barbie star and producer will return to world of films based on toys with project based on the much-loved board game
Margot Robbie isn’t done playing games.
Fresh off her success as a producer and star of “Barbie,” Robbie is creating a Monopoly movie through her production company, LuckyChap. They’ll be joining forces with the game’s parent company, Hasbro Entertainment, and Lionsgate, which owns the rights, to bring the classic board game to film. The companies announced the news at the CinemaCon conference in Las Vegas. “I could not imagine a better production team for this beloved and iconic brand than LuckyChap,” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Adam Fogelson said in a news release Wednesday. “They are exceptional producers who choose their projects with great thought and care and join Monopoly with a clear point of view.”
Well. Ok. I actually like playing Monopoly, but most people I know don't like the game.
