Draft:Clue (upcoming film)

Clue is an upcoming American comedy mystery film based on the board game of the same name from Hasbro.

Production
It was announced in January 2018 that a new adaptation of the popular Hasbro board game was in development at 20th Century Fox, with Ryan Reynolds producing while Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick write the screenplay. On September 25, 2019, Jason Bateman entered negotiations to direct the film. Bateman would ultimately exit negotiations and on February 10, 2020, James Bobin entered talks to direct the film instead. Bateman explained the reason he exited was that the scale of the production would not have allowed him to direct the film during his hiatus from his television series Ozark.

On January 22, 2018, Reynolds was rumored to star in the film. On January 13, 2019, Stephan James was in talks to co-star along with Reynolds. On September 25, 2019, Jason Bateman was set to star in the film until he exited negotiations.

In August 2021, Reynolds expressed uncertainty about the film, citing the merger between The Walt Disney Company and 20th Century Fox. In August 2022, Oren Uziel was hired to re-write the screenplay. However, the film was ultimately never greenlit.

In April 2024, Sony Pictures acquired the film and television rights to the Clue franchise, the former under its TriStar Pictures label.
