Margot Robbie Is Now Set To Produce A 'Monopoly' Movie—And Jokes Are Hilariously Passing Go

Robbie's LuckyChap production company is teaming up with Lionsgate to produce a movie based on the classic board game 'Monopoly'—and fans have a treasure trove of jokes.

Margot Robbie is set to produce a movie based on the classic board game Monopoly, and the reactions on social media are a community chest full of fun for the whole family.

Just weeks after it was announced that Robbie would be producing a film based on the popular video game franchise The Sims, Lionsgate announced at CinemaCon on Wednesday that they'll be joining forces with Robbie’s production company LuckyChap to create a movie based on the board game cabinet staple that forces even the closest of families into table-flipping enemies.


So far, the details of the plot are unknown.

Perhaps the film will follow rich Uncle Pennybags on his quest for more, or maybe it will be a Jumanji-type adventure for a family attempting to force bankruptcy on their loved ones.

Or will it divulge the history of the game itself?

According to Smithsonian Magazine, the original game was invented in 1904 by a woman named Lizzie Magie. The goal of her invention, Landlord’s Game, “was to demonstrate the evils of accruing vast sums of wealth at the expense of others.”

She told a reporter in 1906:

“In a short time, I hope a very short time, men and women will discover that they are poor because Carnegie and Rockefeller, maybe, have more than they know what to do with.”

Though the game - which even had a "Go to Jail" corner on the gameboard and followed a "monopolist" and "anti-monopolist" set of rules - was sold by a New York-based publisher, people began making their own versions.

And the one that became popular, the one we know and love/hate today, was sold to Parker Brothers in 1935 by a man named Charles Darrow.

But while we don't know for certain what the plot will be, you can be sure that the jokes came rolling in, thanks to X users.








Tipping our top hat to you, people of the internet.

Well done 👏👏👏

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”
