As a seasoned gamer and long-time enthusiast of the board game world, I must say that the impending reboot of Clue has me both excited and apprehensive. The original film adaptation from 1985 remains one of my all-time favorite cult classics, and I’ve spent countless hours trying to solve the mystery of who killed Mr. Boddy in the mansion.
The classic board game “Clue” is being revived for both film and television, with a movie remake and TV series adaptation currently in development. Sony’s TriStar Pictures and Hasbro Entertainment are joining forces to produce the new “Clue” remake, which will be spearheaded by Nicole Brown and Katherine Pope from TriStar, and Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano from Hasbro. Recent reports suggest that Zach Cregger, director of “Barbarian,” is in discussions to direct the “Clue” reboot.
This report comes from journalist Jeff Sneider, who had the following details to share:
It’s been rumored that Cregger might take on the director role for the Clue movie, a project that Sony’s TriStar Pictures secured the rights to in April, which includes both film and TV adaptations (in partnership with Sony Pictures Television as well).
It has been mentioned that Shay Hatten is set to pen the screenplay, with a notable history in writing films such as John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon movies, and the director’s zombie film Army of the Dead.
The game Clue has been an unexpected sensation across various media platforms. Originally a board game that gained popularity in the 1940s, it has remained relevant among casual gamers. Despite the 1985 movie adaptation of Clue by writer and director Jonathan Lynn being a box office flop (earning $14.6 million against a budget of $15 million), it managed to achieve cult-classic status through video release and cable syndication.
The biggest mystery in the Clue franchise may be why it’s taken so long for a reboot to actually happen. Some of Hollywood’s biggest talents and/or studios have tried – to no avail. Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski struck out with a Universal reboot in the 2000s; even the red-hot Deadpool team of Ryan Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick couldn’t pull off their Clue reboot, which was in development during the late 2010s. Zach Cregger has become a breakout talent since Barbarian (2022) rode a $4 million budget and word-of-mouth as its only marketing to a $45 million box office, followed by massive cult-hit response when the film hit streaming and premium cable. Cregger’s been in high demand ever since, with his next project, Weapons, already having put together an A-list cast.
Sony is an excellent choice for adapting a culturally significant and enigmatic property like Clue, stated Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano, heads of film and television at Hasbro. Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are fantastic creative partners and the perfect ones to help us solve, after 75 years, who was it that used the candlestick – was it Colonel Mustard in the conservatory?
