Development[]

Lucasfilm didn’t publicly confirm the Monkey Island film’s existence until 2011, and that was when the Monkey Island Special Edition Collection came out, containing storyboards and other extras of the film that the project lead for these games. Craig Derrick had located and cleared for release-- the next few years, the team produced multiple scripts, as well as animatics and artwork from those who would later be involved with Monkey Island's film adaptation. Steven Spielberg was later mentioned to be directing.[2]

Why It Was Cancelled[]

  1. There were production and budget problems. Universal's approval of the film was the most complicated part.

Results[]

  • The Secret Of Monkey Island will likely remain as a video game, and so The Secret Of Monkey Island film was permanently cancelled.
  • Lucasfilm decided to put focus on other projects instead.
