It Sounds Like Ryan Reynolds' CLUE Movie May Never End Up Getting Made

A couple of years ago we learned that Ryan Reynolds was teaming up with Jason Bateman for a new film adaptation of the classic board game Clue. Well, it sounds like that project might be dead in the water.

Reynolds provided a little update on the project and if you were looking forward to seeing this movie, the update isn’t a good one. When talking with Collider, he was asked about the status of the film and this was his response:

"I don’t know if we’re ever going to end up ever getting that made. It’s one of those things that in the shuffle of Disney acquiring Fox, I’m not sure we’ll ever get to, but we’ll see hopefully down the road. I love Jason Bateman, I couldn’t be a bigger Jason Bateman fan, so if it’s not this, it’ll be something else that we hopefully get to work on down the road."

A few months ago Ryan Reynolds parted ways with 20th Century Studios and moved his Maximum Effort production company off the studio lot. From what we heard, he was not happy with Disney for a variety of reasons, and instead of continuing his relationship with them, he ended up signing a deal with Paramount Pictures.

Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were working on the script for the murder mystery comedy and they were looking to deliver an R-rated movie. They said, "Don't be surprised if Clue is an R-rated... Potentially." Well, it’s hard to imagine Disney getting on board with an R-rated Clue movie. I assume that Reynolds just opted not to make Clue with Disney.
