Since then, there’s been talk of a movie reboot. At one point, Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski was attached to produce and direct. That version never came together. Later, Jason Bateman was announced as director, with Ryan Reynolds starring and Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick tackling the script. Bateman is no longer involved, however, and it’s unclear where that film stands right now. In the meantime, we can make do with this animated series.
Clue was created in the UK in the 1940s, where it was first called Murder! before being rebranded as Cluedo (a play on “clue” and Ludo, ludo being Latin for “I play” and a common British term for the game Parcheesi, as Wikipedia will tell you). Of course, most folks soon realized “Cluedo” was a silly name and started calling it Clue. The object of the game is to determine who murdered the game’s victim, where the crime took place, and which weapon was used.
