Margot Robbie, the Hollywood actress
Margot Robbie and her production company LuckyChap seem to have found their golden goose: the world of toys and games. In fact, after the immense success of Barbieit was announced that the actress and producer was developing a live action film of the popular video game series The Sims. And Margot Robbie won’t stop here as the development by LuckyChap and Lionsgate of a new adaptation of a very famous board game has just been made official: Monopoly.

There is no need to introduce Monopoly, the most famous board game in the world. First published in February 1935 in the United States, Monopoly invites its players to do so a rush for capital, purchasing, developing and selling various properties. The game, in its classic edition, is sold in more than 100 countries. It is also translated into 43 languages. There are dozens of different versions dedicated to particular cities, cultural worlds, football clubs…
A long-term project
Announced at CinemaConthis film project Monopoly has been in the works in Hollywood for quite a while. In 2014, a comedy project with Ridley Scott as director was considered. Then, in 2015, Lionsgate and Hasbro, the game’s publisher, announced that a script had been given to Andrew Niccol. These projects remained a dead letter. Now it’s up to Margot Robbie to complete her first feature film Monopoly.
If we could, on the one hand, highlight opportunism by LuckyChap and Margot Robbie, who demonstrated with Barbie that the association between Hollywood and a brand like Mattel or Hasbro could prove to be a resounding success, we can also estimate that Monopoly, originally designed to denounce the antisocial character of capitalism, lends itself perfectly to a film that would be critical of our contemporary capitalist society. In the way of Barbiewhich offered a unique and feminist vision of the famous doll and conveyed a critical message to the wide interested public.
