Margot Robbie's LuckyChap to Produce Monopoly Film: Capitalism Cautionary Tale Hits the Big Screen
April 11, 2024
Margot Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, partners with Lionsgate and Hasbro for a Monopoly film.
The Monopoly board game has a hidden history as a lesson on the pitfalls of capitalism, created by Lizzie Magie.
LuckyChap aims to explore narratives about women marginalized by corporate power, possibly critiquing capitalism in the Monopoly film.
The film's announcement comes amid scrutiny of studio priorities, contrasting major franchises with individual filmmakers' works.
Despite doubts on the adaptation's potential, Lionsgate and Hasbro back LuckyChap due to their success with the Barbie movie.
LuckyChap must craft an engaging story that respects Monopoly's complex origins and addresses modern social issues.
