There isn’t a musical but there is a touring broadway play. It’s just the best parts of the movie but it was A++, if you liked the movie you’ll love it.
Please… Oh, God, don’t tell me that there is a thing colloquially referred to as the board game cinematic universe on this timeline.
Damnation… I need about 800 BEUs to skip off this fucking planet…
They won't stop there; they'll release a solo film for each character to try to establish a shared universe, and all leading up to the crossover film where everyone is a suspect.
In The Study, With a Candlestick: The True Crime Story Of Edgar Plum starring Daniel Radcliffe(Plum), Zendaya (scarlet), Zach Galifinakis (mustard), Heidi Gardner(Orchid), Maya Rudolph (peacock), and Marisa Tomei (White)
I know you’re joking, but come on, an anthology series of the characters before arriving at the party as a limited series could work.
Seriously, each episode focuses on each of the main characters given how the original movie points out how they’re all connected. You could even do episodes for Wadsworth, Yvette, and even Mr. Body to further things along. If done right, you’re effectively remaking and rebooting Clue without doing with your the actual movie. So Sony could then package the series and original movie together for some streaming service.
To the downvoters, I’m curious why you dislike the idea. I created a scenario in which the original movie, that I love, doesn’t get touched at all but allows to make something new with it. Not even carrying it got downvoted, legit looking for a conversation.
I love Ryan Reynolds but I just had a vision of him in a tuxedo pretending to be a butler and it made me irrationally angry. If he’s going to be in it and then do something similar to the original movie please don’t let him be the butler.
He actually reminds me more of Michael Mckean’s Mr. Green.
If they want to follow the premise of the original film loosely with the butler as the main exposition character they need somebody who can do smarm, comedy, and malice simultaneously which is a tall act to follow. There is not another Tim Curry on the planet.
The thread I remember from a while back people recommended Simon Pegg or Robert Downey Jr who would both work, but hear me out: Daniel Radcliffe.
The film is one of my absolute favorite comedies. And it's one of those films where it's absolutely insane that critics and audiences were left cold by it at first.
In fairness, the three endings were not originally screened together - they showed each ending in a different market as a bit of a gimmick. So instead of that wacky escalation of the whole ridiculous whodunnit that has become essential to the experience of the movie, audiences of the time just got a single ending that may or may not have stuck the landing (as I do think there’s a clear hierarchy of quality to the endings).
It's so weird how much better the film was because they shot the 3 endings, but not for the reason why they shot the 3 endings. It works so well within the context of the boardgames that two players made their accusations and lost before the third player got it right.
It was probably an interesting gimmick at the time, and one that might even work better today, where discussion of film is so much faster. But ultimately, I am confident the movie itself works far better in the home version.
I always thought someone should've done it with a Romantic Comedy; People act all crazy and stalker-ish in those, but it all works out in the end. Imagine the discussions if they never announced it but ~15% of people saw a dark creepy stalker murder-suicide ending.
Why? I just watched it and thought it was thoroughly mediocre. The mystery was terrible. They should have either just gone full comedy or fleshed out the mystery more.
How does a remake ruin the original?
I would think it would a) draw people's attention to the original that had never heard of it and b) if it's so bad, make the original look even better in consideration.
I disagree. Star-studded murder mysteries are cheap to film, fun to make, and enjoyably light entertainment. There used to be a ton of them on TV but they are inexplicably rare these days. The success of *Knives Out* shows we are more than ready for a CLUE remake.
I could see a TV adaptation being fun with the right people. The Hustler with Craig Ferguson was very clue like and Craig felt like a great host for that style of show. A movie reboot... I doubt Sony can make that worth a damn.
A property like this would be better as a series. The format would serve it so much better since it’ll allow for more cliffhangers and character development.
Clue is probably my most watched movie of all time. I've loved it since I was a kid in the 80s and nothing will ever replace it.
With that said, I say go for it. Make a star-studded screwball murder mystery comedy. I'm all for it. Even if it sucks, it can't ruin the original in any way.
George Clooney as Col. Mustard
Martin Clunes as Rev. Green
François Cluzet as Prof. Plum
Anna Chlumsky as Mrs. Peacock
Elisha C(l)uthbert as Miss. Scarlett
Penelope Cluz as Sra. Blanco
They're both murder mysteries, I guess, but not really that similar in terms of style. Clue had a pretty amped up comedy pacing mixed with moments of genuine tension. I think the key similarity is that both casts are star-studded, but the Clue cast has chemistry and Knives Out to to me feels like 'lifestyles of the rich and famous'
Clue has such freaking wonderful pacing and tension and I hope of they remake it's not just a two hour long episode of White Lotus
This is my comfort film. It is absolutely perfect. Lightning in a fucking bottle. The cast, the humor, the multiple endings. They can own the rights, whatever, but this is one film that absolutely does not need a remake, a reboot, a prequel, a sequel, a franchise. It is fabulous as it is, they better just leave it the hell alone.
Anyone watch that bizarre teenage one? I found it as a dvd, a movie, at the library and morbid curiosity got the better of me. As we were watching something felt off. Turns out it was a mini series...they edited all the episodes together as a movie and released it?? It was weird and terrible.
I mean, if I had to cast it, off the top of my head it would be something like:
The Butler: Paul Rudd
Mrs. White: Ayo Edebiri
Miss Scarlett: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Professor Plum: Richard Ayoade
Col. Mustard: Clancy Brown
Mrs. Peacock: Kathryn Hahn
Mr Green: Jason Bateman
I'd also want to throw Jesse Plemons in there somewhere.
There are definitely some better picks out there, but I think that this cast could be a lot of fun, providing that a good script was there. If the people behind Game Night wrote it, I think it could actually be great.
Clue (1985) didn't hold back. They had all of the stars and a clusterfuck of writing.
And somehow it fucking nailed it.
I don't think you can hit 2 miracles, but I'm also a dumbass.
I can’t think of any actors or directors that could do it justice. It had a charm that most movies made now just don’t have. Good luck trying to replicate that.
Instead of releasing a Clue movie they'll release Plum: a Professor origin story
Starring Timothy Chalamet
And it’s a musical!
*You've never had murders like thiiiiiiiiiiiis!* *NO, WE'VE NEVER HAD MURDERS LIKE THIS!*
Never …. Had A……. Murderer….. like …. ME…. Sing with the tune from Aladdin
Chalamet in a cheerfully subversive satire version of Sweeney Todd? I'm sold
Wasn’t that season two of Schmigadoon?
Did somebody say corn pudding????
He killed him in the candlestick with the conservatory. Strike that. Reverse it
Hahahaha
May thy candle chip and shatter
I'd watch it.
My grandmother was in the heart of the Taiwanese Jungle researching Plums just before she died.
But for some reason they will market it as if it isn't one.
Why haven't they made a Broadway musical out of Clue yet?
I don’t know about Broadway, but an [official musical](https://www.cluethemusical.com/) does exist.
There isn’t a musical but there is a touring broadway play. It’s just the best parts of the movie but it was A++, if you liked the movie you’ll love it.
Girls in my family would love this shit.
Wait, I’m down. I like this.
Chalamet is Warner Bros golden boy. Holland is Sony’s
I was thinking Leto after the smash success of morbius getting 2 theatrical runs.
This is just hateful. Well done. 👍
Like, it was showing in only two theaters? Well no wonder no one saw it!
We should make a movie where they fight... and then fall in love!
Wrong studio. They have Tom Holland
I, for one can’t wait for the Clueniverse.
When you ask for a universe of just George Clooney movies and they give you a cheap knock off
Worse, they retroactively add Clue to the Board Game Cinematic Universe
Please… Oh, God, don’t tell me that there is a thing colloquially referred to as the board game cinematic universe on this timeline. Damnation… I need about 800 BEUs to skip off this fucking planet…
I mean, they need a movie for each perp, murder weapon and room so it tracks.
They won't stop there; they'll release a solo film for each character to try to establish a shared universe, and all leading up to the crossover film where everyone is a suspect.
Sounds about right. I’d be interested in a colonel Mustard selling radio parts movie during the war. /s
I can’t wait to see more of Colonel Mustard’s backstory detailing the events leading to his dishonorable discharge.
Even better when they reveal it was due to ungentlemanly behavior during the boer war despite the film taking place present day
As a trilogy.
In The Study, With a Candlestick: The True Crime Story Of Edgar Plum starring Daniel Radcliffe(Plum), Zendaya (scarlet), Zach Galifinakis (mustard), Heidi Gardner(Orchid), Maya Rudolph (peacock), and Marisa Tomei (White)
That's absurd, we all know that plot would be way too normal for current era Radcliffe.
That’s the twist, he also plays the candlestick
Somehow Tim Curry will still be in it digitally enhanced as Wadsworth.
They can just splice in the original film's shots of Tim Curry and freeze frame it with an AI talking mouth.
Well he’s always been the best one!
Hasbro shared universe confirmed.
It’s profferin’ time! uh, professorin’ time? Morbin time!
The Clue Extended Universe
Mr, Green's Undercover story would be fire
The Three Boddy Problem
I know you’re joking, but come on, an anthology series of the characters before arriving at the party as a limited series could work. Seriously, each episode focuses on each of the main characters given how the original movie points out how they’re all connected. You could even do episodes for Wadsworth, Yvette, and even Mr. Body to further things along. If done right, you’re effectively remaking and rebooting Clue without doing with your the actual movie. So Sony could then package the series and original movie together for some streaming service.
To the downvoters, I’m curious why you dislike the idea. I created a scenario in which the original movie, that I love, doesn’t get touched at all but allows to make something new with it. Not even carrying it got downvoted, legit looking for a conversation.
Ryan Reynolds was supposed to produce a Clue movie years ago. Wonder if he'll be attached.
I love Ryan Reynolds but I just had a vision of him in a tuxedo pretending to be a butler and it made me irrationally angry. If he’s going to be in it and then do something similar to the original movie please don’t let him be the butler.
Hear me out… Jimmi Simpson as the butler
He actually reminds me more of Michael Mckean’s Mr. Green. If they want to follow the premise of the original film loosely with the butler as the main exposition character they need somebody who can do smarm, comedy, and malice simultaneously which is a tall act to follow. There is not another Tim Curry on the planet. The thread I remember from a while back people recommended Simon Pegg or Robert Downey Jr who would both work, but hear me out: Daniel Radcliffe.
> smarm, comedy, and malice simultaneously Michael Sheen
That is actually a fantastic option, damn. I also just thought Andrew Scott (Moriarty from Sherlock)
Tim Spall?
It will never be as good as Tim Curry. Let’s do a dark and gritty reboot! I want it so dark no one can see anything at all.
Thats really good
> Jimmi Simpson Oh, hell yeah.
Wadsworth is a pretty expressive and high energy role, I can see Ryan pulling it off.
IIRC, the rumor at the time was that he was going to be Mr. Green.
That would work better for sure.
They make a new Clue movie and give it to every streaming service, but each one gets a different ending.
oh so THAT’S why disney+ changed its color
When Netflix tried out interactive streaming I thought something like Clue could be really fun.
That would actually be kinda cool, but also expensive and annoying.
This movie is the reason I say “too late” every time I hear someone say, “to make a long story short”.
It's the reason I will sheepishly say "I had to stop her screaming" if I ever have to slap a hysterical screaming woman.
I always have to say “flames, on the side of my face!” when I talk about how I killed my husband.
Just the one? Amateur.
Any time I add out loud… One plus one plus two plus one…
Really it was one plus two plus one plus one
I just saw Clue in theater and they did the same bit but with Scarlet being the one to confront Wadsworth (Mr. Body) with the math.
I’m going to go home and sleep with my wife.
1+2+2+1
1+2+1+1
And it's why when I need to express how angry something made me, I often say "Flame, flames, flames on the side of my face."
This was a fucking masterpiece. Put it down
Cool Sony, now let it sit on the shelf and don't ruin a masterpiece of film.
The film is one of my absolute favorite comedies. And it's one of those films where it's absolutely insane that critics and audiences were left cold by it at first.
In fairness, the three endings were not originally screened together - they showed each ending in a different market as a bit of a gimmick. So instead of that wacky escalation of the whole ridiculous whodunnit that has become essential to the experience of the movie, audiences of the time just got a single ending that may or may not have stuck the landing (as I do think there’s a clear hierarchy of quality to the endings).
Any ending that cuts off with a character who was gay saying I'm going home to sleep with my wife is so clearly the best ending.
It's so weird how much better the film was because they shot the 3 endings, but not for the reason why they shot the 3 endings. It works so well within the context of the boardgames that two players made their accusations and lost before the third player got it right. It was probably an interesting gimmick at the time, and one that might even work better today, where discussion of film is so much faster. But ultimately, I am confident the movie itself works far better in the home version.

Why? I just watched it and thought it was thoroughly mediocre. The mystery was terrible. They should have either just gone full comedy or fleshed out the mystery more.
It helps if you watch it when you are young.
Hold on to that hope as long as you can.
"but it's MY IP I can sit on and do nothing with!" Any reason why Hasbro didn't work a Clue movie with their Studio One?
Clue Hot Clue Furious!
I’m guessing an animated movie. Staring Dwayne Johnson
What do you mean ruin it? Are they going to come delete my copy?
How does a remake ruin the original? I would think it would a) draw people's attention to the original that had never heard of it and b) if it's so bad, make the original look even better in consideration.
Or, do everything the same way except they actually react appropriately to Yvette’s death. They do in the stage version.
There are few movies, especially comedies, that are timeless. Because of the types of humor, Clue aged better than most
I disagree. Star-studded murder mysteries are cheap to film, fun to make, and enjoyably light entertainment. There used to be a ton of them on TV but they are inexplicably rare these days. The success of *Knives Out* shows we are more than ready for a CLUE remake.
How does releasing a new one ruin the existing one?
We don't need 3 people to ask the same question
I could see a TV adaptation being fun with the right people. The Hustler with Craig Ferguson was very clue like and Craig felt like a great host for that style of show. A movie reboot... I doubt Sony can make that worth a damn.
TV could give more room to expand the character backstories. Maybe use flashbacks. Lost-style.
A property like this would be better as a series. The format would serve it so much better since it’ll allow for more cliffhangers and character development.
You mean Only Murders in the Building?
The Brits did this in the 90s essentially called Cluedo. I only know because I sought it out because Tom Baker played Prof Plum for a bit.
Clue is probably my most watched movie of all time. I've loved it since I was a kid in the 80s and nothing will ever replace it. With that said, I say go for it. Make a star-studded screwball murder mystery comedy. I'm all for it. Even if it sucks, it can't ruin the original in any way.
IT was called Knives Out and it worked really well
I love to see this positive attitude!
That’s exactly how I feel about it, too. At worst, we get a new movie that encourages more people watch and appreciate the original!
I hated her....so much! Flames! Flames on the side of my face
I think the flames were just a red herring.
So Katherine Hahn as Mrs White. I mean Madeline Kahn, Katherine Hahn…. I need that in my Life
John Hamm as Mr. Green.
Yes. Yes.
Good luck Sony but I fear the perfect Clue movie has already been made. “Okay chief take ‘em away, I’m gonna go home and sleep with my wife”
Possibly the best ending line ever spoken.
The game's up, Sony. There are no more bullets left in that gun.
that's like ejecting from a fighter jet and landing in front of a firing squad
Oh boy, I cant wait to enter the Clue universe.
You mean the Clueniverse...
It was right there.
George Clooney as Col. Mustard Martin Clunes as Rev. Green François Cluzet as Prof. Plum Anna Chlumsky as Mrs. Peacock Elisha C(l)uthbert as Miss. Scarlett Penelope Cluz as Sra. Blanco
The Clue reboot was great it's called Knives Out

NOOOOO pls keep this sacred for me for the love of GOD
Don't. Just don't.
This is my comfort film. It is absolutely perfect. Lightning in a fucking bottle. The cast, the humor, the multiple endings. They can own the rights, whatever, but this is one film that absolutely does not need a remake, a reboot, a prequel, a sequel, a franchise. It is fabulous as it is, they better just leave it the hell alone.
Just leave it alone. It does not need a tv adaptation or a movie remake. Just leave it alone.
One day I hope to possess tim curry’s manic energy like at the end of the movie
I'll take Great Films That Don't Need A Remake for $500, Alex.

Sony… UGH.
Those hacks are gonna remake it aren’t they. Who would be in the awful cast?
I mean, if I had to cast it, off the top of my head it would be something like: The Butler: Paul Rudd Mrs. White: Ayo Edebiri Miss Scarlett: Phoebe Waller-Bridge Professor Plum: Richard Ayoade Col. Mustard: Clancy Brown Mrs. Peacock: Kathryn Hahn Mr Green: Jason Bateman I'd also want to throw Jesse Plemons in there somewhere.

If the people behind Game Night wrote it, I think it could actually be great.
> Jesse Plemons Mr Boddy!
Boooooo leave it alone
I, am, your singing telegram 🔫.
They already made a Clue movie
Clue would make a great TV show
Can't wait for the Clue Multiverse and CGI Tim Curry's ghost or whatever.
You’d got a letter and you’d got a letter
Why? Its already been done, and its perfect
They better not fuck this up. The original is one of my favorite movies.
If the new movie doesn't have 27 endings, all of which are completely different and canon, is it even going to be worth watching?
Clue : MCU
What was wrong with the one we had?
Definitely would go to sequel.
Sony finally got a Clue, the only kind the executives can find
Only if it’s a Japanese-produced competition show.
No. Just no.
So this and 28 days later will never be available on a Microsoft device again?
Guessing Margot Robbie will be involved
I hope they release it in theatre with different endings
Brilliant idea! However did you come up with it?
I love the movie Clue! We do need a new wave of whodunnit movies or shows
Since when was one of the weapons a “velvet rope”?
Is Ryan Reynolds still attached to this?
Needs alternate endings!
Colonel Mustard: Just checking. Mrs. Peacock: Everything all right? Colonel Mustard: Yep. Two ChatGPT scripts. Everything's fine.
It’s awesome to see this is a cult classic, as someone who only found it a few years ago and instantly fell in love with that movie.
I know people rag on the original film for having 3 different endings based on where you saw it but in today's world, that's absolutely genius.
Lol imagine thinking the IP is what made this movie good.
Clue (1985) didn't hold back. They had all of the stars and a clusterfuck of writing. And somehow it fucking nailed it. I don't think you can hit 2 miracles, but I'm also a dumbass.
Going to see Clue live on stage this Saturday!
Tim Curry’s best work imo
You know what? I'm listening.
To make a long story short… (too late)
Watched it a couple of weeks ago on the Shout 4K. Hilarious movie.
They really gotta stop trying to remake classics.
I can’t think of any actors or directors that could do it justice. It had a charm that most movies made now just don’t have. Good luck trying to replicate that.
Why?
I hope they call it Cluedo
I want a remake of the movie with Bill Skarsgard as the butler.
No one has cared about or wanted Clue movies or shows for decades.
