    Actual story:

    Lionsgate has acquired Entertainment One’s (eOne) TV and film operations from Hasbro.

    Lionsgate has acquired ~6500 titles. One of those 6500 is Monopoly. The other 99.98% of the titles are not Monopoly.

    A Monopoly movie has been long in development hell with Kevin Hart, Tim Story, and Ridley Scott attached at different points, though none came to fruition[. . .]Currently, no director or actor is attached to Monopoly.

    The movie’s been in development hell since 2008 and the last update was in 2019 when Kevin Hart was briefly attached. Nothing special is going on with Monopoly currently, other than its mystic power to generate headlines.

    This article was a wonderful creative writing exercise.
