In an effort to bring another one of its properties to the big screen, Hasbro is currently developing a Monopoly film with an experienced team onboard. Following their successes with the Transformers franchise, the company is looking to branch out into more family oriented films with the help of the celebrated board game.

Deadline is reporting that Kevin Hart is attached to star in the Tim Story-directed adaptation. Hart is no stranger to board game centric films, having starred in the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in 2017, with a sequel hitting this December. On the half, director Tim Story is a very recognizable name in comic book community, directing 2005's Fantastic Four and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2007. The creative is currently working on a Shaft reboot set for release in the summer.

There are currently no firm details regarding the film's plot or synopsis, but knowing the game of Monopoly, it will likely follow Hart in his efforts to accumulate a fortune. In what will clearly be a family friendly comedy, here's to hoping that the movie will be a surprise delight. Currently, the project is without a writer.

@CyberBishop - A capitalist becomes rich illegally buying and selling property, he then goes to jail and loses everything, but upon release he gets a second “Go” at life with only $200 dollars to his name to build his empire in an honest fashion

@dracula - He also did the Ride Along and Think Like a Man movies, plus a Barbershop I believe. Aside from FF, which was waaay out his wheelhouse, he actually has a pretty good track record. Of course, the concept is iffy, but Hart also has very few misses lately.

@OmegaBlack13 -
Not into either Kevin Hart's or this directors kind of comedy, and dont see how you can make a movie based on a board game, really might as well call Wallstreet a monopoly movie
