We do not need a remake of Clue. How can you do better than the original? There were two campy 80s movies with ensemble casts so fantastic that they should never be touched. Clue stared Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Colleen Camp, Bill Henderson and a cameo by Jane Wiedlin (from The Go-Go’s). There is no better comedic ensemble cast anywhere in the universe. Period.
However, there is a 1988 film that’s a close second. It stared Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Julie Brown, Michael McKean (hey whadyaknow here he is again) and a cameo by Angelyne. Off the top of your head, can you name it? No? Click here for the answer.
Anywhore, again, why are they remaking something that is already great? I know the original has some detractors (that mens you Kevin Smith) but come on, the new one is going to be directed by Gore Verbinski – BARF!
