Not only is Clue a classic, that movie was almost entirely MADE by its cast. Any attempt to recreate that kind of lightning will inevitably end in failure. I mean, who but Tin Curry could pull off Wadsworth with just that right note? Could anyone top Madeline Kahn in ANY role she's ever done> Nuh-uh. Actually, and I'm sorry I couldn't find the clip on youtube, but they've actually remade the board game of Clue as a spy game where you're hunting down the villainous "Agent Black." Oh, and you need a cel phone to play it. In that context, I could see it working as a movie and pissing off the people expecting a remake of the 80's movie. that game sounds too complicated

An excerpt from the Hasbro:

In CLUE: Secrets & Spies Edition, each player takes on the role of a top international spy tasked with infiltrating the Criminal League for Ultimate Espionage to stop its evil scheme for world domination by intercepting the nefarious Agent Black. True identities of Agent Mustard, Agent Scarlet and crew are kept secret as players work independently to complete missions by using clues from the game and real-time tips sent via optional cell phone text messages. The agent who completes the most missions before being discovered by Agent Black will be known as the world’s number one spy and will win the game.

“The use of text messaging to enhance a traditional board game experience is a true innovation in the board game category and we are thrilled to pioneer this experience with Hasbro’s CLUE brand,” said Jill Hambley, Global Marketing Vice President of the CLUE brand at Hasbro. ”CLUE: Secrets & Spies Edition takes text messaging from mere novelty to world saving technology. By using their own cell phones, players will turn their own every-day phone into a top-secret spy device that is certain to add excitement and suspense to game play.”
