They will end up remaking the movie and it will either:

Not have multiple endings and just suck

Or have multiple endings specifically to try and coax people into paying to see it multiple times. And also suck.

It will definitely suck.

There are no actors that can match the quality of the original cast.

[–] BeardedSingleMalt@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

There has been a remake stewing for years, starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman

Despite the negativity, what cast would you like to see? I'd throw in Bradley Cooper, Jamie Lee Curtis, Vincent D'Onofrio, Tom Lennon, Jennifer Coolidge...

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I thought Bill Murray and then immediately after, Wes Anderson directing. Now it's ruined, can't see anything but a Wes Anderson 'Clue.'

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could work, but then it's more deadpan. Maybe throw in John Malkovich or John Cusack.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, two good picks. And we know Jeff Goldblum has to be in it.

Wouldn't mind seeing Martin Mull return. Or Christopher Lloyd. Or Mike McKean. Or Lesley Ann Warren.

Okay nobody from the first one or we'd end up with cameos from them all.

So... Jeff Goldblum.

Good call. Now that I'm thinking on it, throw in Jason Isaacs (edit: as Colonel Mustard)

Much as I'd love for him to appear, concerning recovery from the stroke he suffered in 2012, he remains wheelchair bound. Just turned 78 on April 19th, but apparently still going to conventions.

I'd like multiple endings. I would watch it once in the cinema, and then would be excited to see what different endings there are when it comes out on BD.

I cannot accept a Clue without Tim Curry.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't understand when they named the sequel "Clueless".

[–] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 3 points 6 months ago

The companion piece, “Blue’s Clues”, makes evident why. Stick with it

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Expect a Kevin Hart clue remark.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How will they tie in Spider-Man?!

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago

Spider-Man Noir.

Psych did a wonderful Clue episode, I'd rather rewatch that (and the original movie)

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Clue, the game, has players figure out who is responsible for a murder in a cast of characters that includes Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White and Miss Scarlet.

While the film performed poorly at the box office and debuted to lukewarm reviews, Clue, which was written and directed by Jonathan Lynn, has since reached cult status.

Over the years, other versions were in the works, with Ryan Reynolds at one point attached to star in a 20th Century adaptation from Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

The company worked with Paramount — the studio behind Transformers franchise (another Hasbro property) — on the 2023 release of a Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which grossed over $200 million at the global box office.

Said Hasbro film boss Zev Foreman and TV head Gabriel Marano, “Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as Clue.

Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”
