Deadline has brought word that Fox has begun early talks with Emmy winner Jason Bateman. Reynolds’ company will produce the film, based on the Hasbro board game, with Allspark Pictures, which is the film division of Hasbro.
Clue was a 1985 comedy based on the board game, which involves players figuring which of the guests at a mansion murdered someone, with which murder weapon and in which room.
The film had one of three possible endings, and different theaters received different ones.
Though the film didn’t do well in its run a the box office, only making $14,643,997 in domestic sales, it has become a cult classic.
