But here's holding out hope? Clue is such a unique little movie, I don't think you can capture lightning like that twice. I imagine this will be really stupid.

What do butler's do? by enderandrew	Feb 25th, 2009 09:58:19 AM
We buttle. And the Pirates trilogy made insane money. There will be more sequels, the question is whether or not they pay Depp big bucks to come back, or if they try to center the new movies solely on Orlando Bloom.

I know there are people that love Clue by skimn	Feb 25th, 2009 10:34:33 AM

Go ahead... by rutgersjaffo	Feb 25th, 2009 10:34:57 AM
...flame me all you want, but I LOVE the original Clue. Tim Curry just plain kills me as does Martin Mull and the rest of the gang. It is for my money one of the funnier ensemble comedies of my lifetime. I am NOT saying that it is techinically a great movie or anything like that. Just saying that I personally feel it was as well done as you could ask for and I honestly probably watch it at least 3 or 4 times a year...

And after the total failure of City Of Ember by skimn	Feb 25th, 2009 10:39:11 AM

He's gotta do "Bioshock" first by funnyhat	Feb 25th, 2009 10:42:38 AM
Here we have the first example of a video game that NEEDS to be turned into a movie, with a director attached. What is the holdup on that project? Just thinking about what Verbinski could do to "Bioshock" visually excites me. An underwater art-deco dreamland of a city in the 1960's that suffers a cataclysmic breakdown in society due to gene splicing and ethics being thrown out the window. MAKE IT.
The video game industry has real creativity by MANZILLA	Feb 25th, 2009 10:43:29 AM
Halo,Gears of War,mass effect. These should have been hollywood properties if hollywood had any balls or creativity left. Instead were getting remake after remake instead of new properties.

Without Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn (RIP) it won't work. Hell, it won't work because even if they try to make it campy (which the first, admittedly, was) it'll just come across as stupid. And they won't get the same quality actors. Just no! I seriously hope this doesn't happen.

Alright, I AM shouting! I'm SHOUTING, I'm SHOUTING, I'm SHOUTING, I'm SHOUTING, I'm SHOUT-bonk Fuck, I love Clue. I honestly think that a Verbinski directed version could be great if it has a great writer. He could and would bring a visual style to it that would make it a whole new classic unto its own right. I am actually looking forward to this. But I'll be honest... we need some kind of Tim Curry cameo. He was bloody brilliant in the original.
Let me guess, it will be "dark and realistic"? by Stalin vs Predator	Feb 25th, 2009 10:54:03 AM
Or will it be "reimagined and updated for the dynamic young audiences of modern times"? The original ranks among the best comedies of the 80s - not surprisingly, considering it's the work of Jonathan "My Cousin Vinny" Lynn. (Although I still want the "Tim Curry Is Victorious" ending to be the proper one) This remake will be to it as... well, just watch "Mouse House", or whatever the title of that junk was, to get a taste. If you even can suffer through 5 minutes of that. (Or, for that matter, through his "Pirates")
Coonect Four the Movie by SomaShine	Feb 25th, 2009 10:54:12 AM

so they have so little new ideas, that they remake old movies, and make movies out of board games. now they are remaking a movie that was made from a board game. i am starting to think they woud be better off to stop making movies nd just re-relase the best ones into the theatre again as-is.

Clue is one of my favorite 80's movies by SoylentMean	Feb 25th, 2009 11:06:18 AM
I was so fuckin' young when I first watched it that I seriously thought I was getting away with something, like I was watching an "R" rated movie when I wasn't supposed to. The movie is PG, yet if feels raunchy.
Flyingcircus - that's fuckin' funny by Mr.Twist	Feb 25th, 2009 11:06:39 AM
And you're probably right. In a few years it will be down to "recognizable brands." PEPSI vs COKE will be the action spectacle of the summer (tentpole movie, in the parlance of our times)
I'm so glad I watched this the other night. by Fawst	Feb 25th, 2009 11:08:59 AM
We have been playing a LOT of the "new" Clue at a friend's house of late. (Side note: It's awesome. Much faster pace than the original, what with the new "Intrigue" cards. You get special abilities, new ways to fuck other players, and... EVERYONE CAN DIE WITH NO WINNER TO BE HAD! It RULES, go get it, have a blast with it.) Anyways, yah, so we all love the movie and watched it because of playing a lot of Clue. Tim Curry's impersonation of Mr. Green with Mrs. Peacock is HILARIOUS. "I had to stop her screaming!" Argh, it's so quotable! "A DOUBLE NEGATIVE!" "There's safety in numbers." "I'm going home to sleep with my wife!"
Casting for Scarlet has begun by enderandrew	Feb 25th, 2009 11:09:30 AM
Scarlet - Miley Ray Cyrus Wadsworth - Jared Padalecki Mrs. White - Maggie Grace Professor Plum - David Krumholtz Mr. Green - Paul Walker Colonel Mustard - Josh Duhamel Yvette - Jamie Lynn Spears Mr. Boddy - Skeet Ulrich or Rufus Sewell The sad part is, the studios would kill to land this cast, and the actual cast will be much worse than this.

In Mousehunt and Ring (which was as good as a Hollywood reversion could be) Verbinski showed signs of being a craftsman. But those Pirates films - I will NEVER understand their popularity. I get bored within MINUTES of seeing any of them. No story. No emotion. Characters that are great in sketches but not in 3 hour blockbusters. DAMN!
Please let the Pirates Franchise Die by richievanderlow	Feb 25th, 2009 11:25:56 AM

Pirates might have one more movie left... by SoylentMean	Feb 25th, 2009 11:28:47 AM
I wasn't too happy with the third film, except for the potential setup of a Fountain of Youth oriented fourth film. It's most likely going to happen, due to the extreme box office of the past 3 films. I'd imagine it truly depends on the schedule of a certain Mr. Depp. Personally, I'd rather see Depp in a Dark Shadows movie first before he revisits Jack Sparrow.

Pirates by enderandrew	Feb 25th, 2009 11:35:58 AM
I think Disney will attempt to really milk the franchise, by attempting to branch off into a new trilogy. Orlando Bloom has the highest gross per film of any single actor in history, because he was in all 3 LotR movies, and all 3 Pirates movies. Studios dig those kind of numbers, and I expect so see a new Pirates trilogy center around Orlando Bloom and the Flying Dutchman. The thing is, he can't set foot on soil, and he can't have another love interest. So while he will be the main star, they will need new characters at the heart of the franchise who can go on soil, and who can have love interests. Arguably, Bloom and Knightly played the core roles in the original films anyway, so I look for Bloom to move into the Depp-type role, and have a new set of young actors to fill in essentially for the parts that Bloom and Knightly played. If Bloom is the only major principle returning, the studio will also save on money, since they're only heavily paying one actor.
Pirates IV: The Island in 2011 by enderandrew	Feb 25th, 2009 11:37:04 AM
The finale of Lost will be the Flying Dutchman landing on the Island. Search your feelings Skywalker, you know it to be true. Disney owns both properties.
Surely... by barrignite	Feb 25th, 2009 11:37:27 AM
There must be more to this than "based on a boardgame". Ridley Scott is no idiot. This is a calculated move of genius. He and Gore know something we dont. I remember i got the 1989 BATMAN board game. I gave it a go, there was a crazy dice and some other shit too. Yep, i stuck it out that Xmas afternoon for almost twenty minutes before realising what abortionesque stab in the back id been given. I would have rather they drove me out in the middle of nowhere and just abandoned me than expose me to this peice of shit. Nothing for it but standing up promptly and punching my father square in the face.
Mr. Twist by Flyingcircus	Feb 25th, 2009 11:39:52 AM
I think you might be onto something there, my friend. Pepsi Vs. Coke- a major action summer blockbuster. TALKBACKERS- these threads are always chock full of hilarious ideas. I think an awesome contest for AICN to run would be a "ridiculous idea for a movie" movie poster contest. Just imagine the Photoshop fun that could be had creating movie posters for shit like "Connect Four The movie." All the great stereotypical poster stuff- big heads, motion blurred text. Hilarity will ensue, I tells ya.

2008 movie revenue appr. 9.6 billion by skimn	Feb 25th, 2009 11:47:40 AM
2008 videogame software revenue 11 billion. I can understand why producers want to turn successful games into movies, but when gameplay can last 50 + hours, the game can provide plot and characters and yes, even nuance that a 2 hour movie may have difficulty providing. Why haven't Grand Theft Auto or Metal Gear Solid been turned into movies? Because they are both cinematic experiences of their own.

Flames... on the side of my face... by Wes_Reviews_	Feb 25th, 2009 01:04:40 PM
This will never be as good as the original, especially with talk of a "global event". Sounds like they're going the spy thriller route. LAME. If they keep it to a small group of guests locked in a mansion in which a murder takes place, they can't go wrong. However, I think they will try to overproduce it. Why can't they just keep things simple?

An unnecessary sequel -or- an unnecessary "reimagining". Hopefully they drove a big dump truck full of money up to Gore's house, he's not made of stone.

I think a modestly budgeted "Ouija" movie could work. by The Reluctant Austinite	Feb 25th, 2009 01:23:38 PM
Sure, it was done on a showstring budget with soap opera actors in the 80s as "Witchboard," but even that was a modest hit and found a small legion of fans. Any kid that's ever toyed with a Ouija board in his/her parent's basement would line up for this.

David Lynch's "Bed Bugs" by darthvedder81	Feb 25th, 2009 03:26:31 PM

I love Clue the game, but this sounds like a shit idea. by a goonie	Feb 25th, 2009 03:39:46 PM
Come on, the first movie was fun in a certain sort of way. I love Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries with everyone locked up in a mansion together, but really, we're talking about A REMAKE OF A MOVIE BASED ON A BOARD GAME. This sounds godddamn ridiculous when you look at it like that. I'm not a huge Verbinski fan anyways and I could really live without another Pirates movie (that franchise sunk in a damn hurry, if you ask me), but this is all a bit too silly. As was the case when the news of Ridley Scott's Monopoly came out, the only good that can come of this project is all the fake projects invented in these talkbacks. At least those are somewhat entertaining.
Clue: Rise of Plum by Larry Sellers	Feb 25th, 2009 03:45:44 PM
This film is completely unnecessary. The Christopher Lloyd one is pretty hilarious. And it's not really THAT dated. But Verbinski does cool things when he's working indoors so let's see.

...they have big name directors attached to these board game movies. I'm interested in what direction they will go. Sadly, it looks like Monopoly will just be some business scheme movie and Clue will be a thriller instead of a murder-mystery at a mansion. I've always loved Clue the game and movie and they are both the UTLIMATE rainy-day entertainment!

IS THIS VERBINSKI'S PASSION PROJECT?!? by Mullah Omar	Feb 25th, 2009 05:22:39 PM
He's coming off a huge hit trilogy, he can probably pick whatever new project he wants, and he chooses . . . a movie based on a board game?!? No I liked the 80s CLUE movie, but that was lightning in a bottle, just a great cast interacting well off one another. Put in a few different actors and it could have been complete shit. Will a modern verson be as goofy as the first CLUE movie? And if so, why bother remaking it if you're going for the same tone? Because does anyone want to see a "dark, gritty" CLUE film? This just sounds like a bad idea all around. Seems like Verbinski is pissing away a time period when he could be making whatever films he's had stuck in his head for years. Was CLUE really tearing him up inside?

This is a horrible idea by successor	Feb 25th, 2009 09:24:32 PM
Clue is a great movie and one of the most quotable ones ever. Why bother to remake it? What possible reason could they have? The conversation between Martin Mull and Tim Curry about there isn't any confusion/anyone in the house is one of the funniest things I've heard in a movie. These days Hollywood is so lazy and idea-deprived that they'll remake anything. Get ready for an Invasion USA remake with the Rock instead of Chuck Norris and a Silent Running remake with Jack Black in the lead.
