I'm sorry, did you think I was joking?
The 33-year-old celeb along with her husband, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara will release the project under their LuckyChap banner, per IndieWire. The film will be distributed by Lionsgate and produced by Hasbro Entertainment. The announcement was made Wednesday morning during Lionsgate's CinemaCon 2024 presentation.
My goodness, a Monopoly movie? If you wanted that, all you need is a documentary about BlackRock and Vanguard buying up all the private homes everywhere.
Didn't we learn our lesson on board-game movies (what a phrase!) from 2012's "Battleship"?
"Monopoly is a top property — pun fully intended," LuckyChap said in a statement. "Like all of the best IP, this game has resonated worldwide for generations, and we are so excited to bring this game to life alongside the wonderful teams involved at Lionsgate and Hasbro."
The only way this movie is realistic is if it's about a group of family and friends who love each other but decides to play a fun game involving money that ends up turning them into merciless monsters who hate each other.
Hasbro Entertainment has more than 30 active projects in development, the outlet noted, including an animated "Transformers One" and a live-action "Dungeons & Dragons" series for Paramount+.
LuckyChap is also working on a film adaptation of the popular life simulation video game, The Sims.
But why?
Are we really at the point where no one can come up with good stories to tell on film? We're raiding the family game closet now?
What the heck is a Sims movie going to be about? A lady who keeps trying to get out of her pool but a vindictive evil spirit won't let her?
Ken wouldn't have made this movie.
Ken knows what time it is.
