It could be a groan, or it might be great. For the sanctity of my own memories, how I hope it will not suck like a cyclonic-action Hoover.
A new CLUE movie has been announced, directed by Gore Verbinski.
The pictured cards are from the 1972 game version, the vintage I grew up with. This is the one I had and played. Another writer friend, Michael, runs theartofmurder website, at which you can see pictures from the many, many editions of Clue, Cluedo, and all the spin offs. Clue's actually had over $1 billion in sales over the years, not to mention inspiring an earlier movie, the cinematic masterpiece of camp from 1985.
That's a lot of history and a lot of fans to please. We'll see.

Here's a shock Clare: I've never played this game. Would you mind if I came over and you showed me?
I love the photo, Clare! I never would have guessed the game has made $1 billion, that's amazing. I enjoyed the original movie, and I'll probably see the new one when it comes out.
Thanks for sharing!
Come to think of it, I've never seen the movie either. Sheltered child.
That's it- Clue Marathon for crime writers! Who's in?
We'll see how intrepid the plotters really are when they don't get to pick the villain!
-yes, David, you must see the divinely corny movie. Nuff said.
I always loved the game, though I played with a vintage set. I'm pawing the ground for Clue Marathon.
