The first Clue movie was released in 1985 and quickly became a cult classic film. It’s unclear if this would be a remake, or if there would be an entirely new plot for this upcoming film.
It’s being reported by Deadline that Ryan and Jason will also develop the script together.

The iconic 1985 film Clue, based on the popular board game, is becoming a stage show!
“Clue is one of Hasbro’s most popular games and the 1985 film has rightfully earned its place as one of the most iconic murder mystery films of all time,” Simon Waters, Hasbro General Manager & SVP Entertainment & Consumer Products, said in a statement (via Variety). “We are excited to work with The Araca Group on this unique new live production, which will capture what fans love about the original film, while offering some new and exciting surprises along the way.”
The 1985 film is also being rebooted by 20th Century Fox for a new movie.
