All right, Hasbro, let's calm down a little shall we. Transformers was a fun flick okay and we admitted it. But then you started getting crazy. Ridley Scott is attached to direct a movie based off the real estate trading game Monopoly (thrilling), Candyland is on its way to giving us a cavity (sweet), and Stretch Armstrong will be stretching into big screens soon enough (insert stretchy joke here).

Now we're looking at a film based off another Habsro property, but this one has already seen a decent adaptation. Variety announced Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski is lined up for an update to Hasbro's classic murdery mystery game Clue.

Of all the aforementioned Hasbro product based films coming out, this game is certainly one that has the potential for a decent narrative. The only problem is we've already seen this play out in the very enjoyable first adaptation of this game with Tim Curry, Michael McKean, Christopher Lloyd and Madeline Kahn and I just don't know if this is necessary. An updated cast might give the film a fresh facelift, but the real question is whether or not the film will have the same dark comedic tone as the original or will just go all out serious murder mystery.

For me what would really peak my interest is if they went the route of the original film and released it to the public with several endings at different theaters. We're all used to the ending on the DVD that simply lays out the 3 different endings for us, but when it was released in theaters, depending on where you saw the movie, your ending could've been completely different than another audience's experience. Unless something on along that lines is brought to the table, then I just don't see this being anything more than dust in the wind. Who knows how long it will be before this comes out anyway what with Verbinski also being attached to Rango (with Johnny Depp), a re-make of the cult classic Heavy Metal, and an adaptation of the video game Bioshock.
