Jason Bateman has stepped up and solved a long-standing mystery: why he vacated the remake of Clue, an adaptation he had been planning to direct and co-star in alongside Ryan Reynolds.
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.
Reynolds remains attached to star while his company will produce the film, based on the Hasbro board game, with Allspark Pictures, which is the film division of Hasbro.
So, unfortunately, I had to step off of that. But if it’s still around when Ozark is all wrapped up, I’d love to do it.
