Today, a report announced that John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are set to pen the live-action Monopoly movie. The dup has written and directed several films, including Vacation, Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons. They also helped out on Spider-Man: Homecoming and The Flash.
“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.”- Erin Westerman, co-president, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
Producer Margot Robbie announced the film last year under her LuckyChap production banner. Lionsgate purchased the rights to the beloved, multi-generational board game after it acquired eOne.
