Margot Robbie's New Film Faces Growing Criticism
Margot Robbie's disappointment at the recent Oscars is well-known. Now, all eyes are on the beautiful actress as she takes on the role of producer for the live-action adaptation of the board game 'Monopoly.' However, some critics are suggesting that Robbie has not learned from her mistakes in the 'Barbie' movie. Here are the details.
The Oscars' nomination of the "Barbie" movie had sparked widespread discussions on social media.
Now, actress Margot Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, has taken on the production of Hasbro's famous game 'Monopoly.' While 'Barbie' had seen success at the box office, some argue that Robbie is repeating her mistakes with the 'Monopoly' film. Despite Barbie's global impact, past adaptations of popular toys or games into movies have not always achieved success.
Toy companies like Mattel and Hasbro have long been revisiting their products with hopes of turning them into films, inspired in part by Lego's success on the big screen.
The Lego Movie in 2014 boosted sales by 13%. Barbie's global influence further encourages these endeavors.
Twelve years ago, Hasbro produced a film called Battleship based on the popular board game, which turned out remarkably poorly.
The film flopped at the box office, resulting in a $150 million loss for Universal Pictures and Hasbro.
Successful board game movies often draw inspiration from the essence of the games rather than specific details.
Think of movies like Jumanji or the comedy Game Night starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. Both capture the humorous tension and adventure akin to playing Risk.
Some believe that "Monopoly" won't be a disappointment.
After all, Robbie is a smart and successful film producer. Her collaboration with Fennell on films like Promising Young Woman and last year's class satire Saltburn were polarizing and open to debate. There's also an adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh's bestselling novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation in the works, promising another thought-provoking film.
One thing is certain: if there's anyone who can turn "Monopoly" into a film that people truly want to see, discuss, hate, or embrace, it's Robbie.
However, it's worth questioning what Robbie sees beyond the name in this brand. Despite also adapting video game titles like Sims into films through her production company, the intriguing aspect is that Monopoly doesn't always have the definitive focal point that screen adaptations often center on.
Speaking to Deadline earlier this year, Robbie discussed the intense debates surrounding Barbie and her portrayal of troubled figure skater Tonya Harding in the 2017 film "I, Tonya."
She noted how audiences often come with preconceived notions about the main character before sitting down to watch. It's an interesting point to start sharing an experience with the audience.
