The upcoming Ryan Reynolds remake, Clue may have found their director.
While Jason Bateman had been previously attached to helm the murder mystery, but departed the project due to scheduling conflicts with Netflix’s Ozark. Since his departure, Muppets Most Wanted director James Bobin is in talks to direct.
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writing team behind Deadpool, wrote the script while Reynolds’ Maximum Effort is developing and producing the film with Allspark Pictures, the film division of Hasbro.
The cast has not been set, but 20th Century is aiming for high-profile talent to join Reynolds.
The original 1985 movie, based on the Hasbro board game, followed six guests who are anonymously invited to a strange mansion. After the host is killed, the visitors must cooperate with the staff to identify the murderer as bodies pile up. The cast included Christopher Lloyd, Madeline Khan, Michael McKean and Eileen Brennan
