Ryan Reynolds Is Remaking 'Clue' With 'Deadpool' Writers
It was Deadpool, in the conservatory, and you don't even want to know what he used.
We're not thrilled that "Clue" is being made into another movie ("IT" and now "Clue" -- no Tim Curry project is safe!) but if Ryan Reynolds is involved, we're 80 percent happier about it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds signed a three-year first-look deal with Twentieth Century Fox, the studio behind "Deadpool." His first movie under the deal will be a live-action version of the Hasbro board game "Clue." The game was previously adapted into the 1985 classic comedy starring Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, and Colleen Camp.
Youngters, do y'all selves a favor. Go watch 1985 #Clue and bask in the comedic genius that was ALL of the actors involved. pic.twitter.com/5AH9lboMoY

Deadline says the film will be developed as a star vehicle for Reynolds, who will produce through his Maximum Effort brand, along with Allspark Pictures. The film will also reunite Reynolds with his "Deadpool" and "Deadpool 2" writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, which may give us a hint of the tone of this "Clue" film.
"Deadpool 2" is now scheduled for release in theaters on May 18, 2018. No release date has been set yet for this "Clue" movie, which is in the very early stages. It'll be interesting to see how they cast the characters, though. Any dream casting suggestions?
I don't ~need~ a "Clue" remake but if we're doing this:
Mrs. White: Constance Wu
Miss Scarlett: Tessa Thompson
Mrs. Peacock: Sigourney Weaver
Col. Mustard: Oscar Isaac
Mr. Green: Ryan Reynolds
Prof. Plum: Sterling K. Brown https://t.co/lMvOgJJE5x— Jarett Wieselman (@JarettSays) January 22, 2018
