John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have closed a deal with Lionsgate to write a screenplay based on the classic Hasbro board game, Monopoly. The project is produced by LuckyChap and Hasbro Entertainment. Lionsgate extended its development rights to the beloved, multi-generational board game with its purchase of eOne in December 2023. Monopoly is the world’s most popular board game brand, with 99% global awareness, and is available in more than 100 countries across the globe, selling nearly half a billion copies going back to 1935.

Here’s what Erin Westerman, Co-President, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group had to say.

“We knew LuckyChap would be a beacon for the best talent in town, and Lionsgate & Hasbro are thrilled that Goldstein & Daley have decided to join the fun.  We’ve been long time admirers of their work—telling bold, original, intelligent stories for all audiences. They are the perfect architects for this franchise.”

Daley and Goldstein are two of the most acclaimed and accomplished screenwriters in Hollywood right now. They wrote and directed Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. They’ve also written Spider-Man: Homecoming, Horrible Bosses 1 and 2, and Vacation.
