Gore Verbinski to Direct Clue

[Lobo]

Haha cool, I just hope it's as good as the original with Curry

 

[Heretic]

He's making movies based on rides and board games...

Could Bazooka Joe be far behind?

Clue is one of my favorite games and one of my all time favorite movies! Yeah, I'm excited. Really really excited!

I hope the story is good, and I kinda hope it all takes place in a mansion.

1985 Clue was comedy GOLD!
Tim Curry owned

"Indeed no, sir. I'm merely a humble butler"
"What exactly do you do?"
"I buttle, sir."

"You see? Like the Mounties, we always get our man"
"Mrs. Peacock was a man?"

"Maybe there is life after death."
"Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!"

Tim Currey and CLUE! were GOLD indeed, sir.

The 1985 movie is sooooooo good. I'm not sure you can really top it. And I'm not sure we need multiple variations on the board game. This one better be funny and clever. If it is like the POTC sequels, it'l be a skip.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Could be very good.

But Bioshock first Verbinski!

 

[Mutagen]

I'll wait for the release on video, so I can catch all the, if there is any, multiple endings.

 

[mr. peasant]

Hopefully, Tim Curry will be given a cameo in the film.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Casting suggestions???


??? as Mrs. Peacock
??? as Wadsworth
??? as Mrs. White
??? as Professor Plum
??? as Mr. Green
??? as Colonel Mustard
??? as Miss Scarlet
??? as Yvette
??? as Mr. Boddy

 

[JP]

Aren't Yvetter and Wadsworth characters created just for the movie? Doubt they'd be in this one.

 

[Sawyer]

That was funnier when it was called Murder by Death.

20th Century Fox has reportedly scored the rights to Hasbro’s “CLUE” game with plans for a new film adaptation of the property.
Josh Feldman is producing the new take on the murder mystery board game, this one expanding the playing field to a ‘worldwide mystery’ and introducing action-adventure elements that could kick off the start of franchise.
The remake was previously set up at Universal before the studio dropped the project in 2011. Director Gore Verbinski was previously attached to helm that earlier incarnation – it’s not clear if he is still involved in any capacity on the new version.
The property was previously adapted into the 1985 feature which has since become a comedy classic with a massive cult following thanks to the razor sharp script by John Landis (“Coming to America&#8221 and Jonathan Lynn (“Nuns on the Run&#8221 and its bevy of great performers including Tim Curry, Madeline Khan, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Lesley Ann Warren, Eileen Brennan and Martin Mull.

You know what just dawned on me? The original Clue is a great movie, and it's based off a board game with very little story and characters we know next to nothing about. Yet somehow they were able to craft a hilarious and intriguing film out of it, all those years ago.

So I ask you, why havent we had ONE good video game based movie in all these years? If it's possible to make a good, perhaps even great movie out of a board game, why has it proven damn near impossible to make one out of games which often already have full stories and colorful characters?

Because they tend to put the most ill fitted filmmakers they can possibly find behind the creation of video game movies. Clue is also something they have a lot more wiggle room with than most video games, it has almost no story beyond a dude getting murdered in a mansion leading to a whodunnit scenario between a bunch of colorful characters, a very simple concept that's easy to expand on, so they're given a lot of freedom to have fun with the story.

Agreed

Yeah, that's true. Although with Warcraft, they actually hired a respected filmmaker and it still became unwatchable dreck.
