A New 'Clue' Movie?!?

First of all, I just want to say, there can be no 'better' Clue film made (or re-made)!

I just saw an article suggesting that at several Hasbro games could be made into movies. Yep, you heard me right. Check out the article here:

I can just see someone like Michael Rooker, shaved down to his Daddy Warbucks chrome-dome, evily plotting from his Boardwalk penthouse office to remove the hard-working, blue-collar residents of his Connecticut Ave. row houses. We can cast Renee Zellweger as the optimistic and crusading debutante-who-must-prove-herself-a-humanitarian who needs to figure out that she should 'merge assets' with the rascal of a up-and-coming real-estate broker played by...Matthew Goode to defeat the malicious profiteer Uncle Pennybags. Add a "convenient" fire that raized the Baltic Ave. slums and you've practically got a picture right there!
Well, at least it would be just about as good as what has been coming out lately. I am looking forward to very few movies in the near future.

I know that "multi-media" and viral ad campaigns are the way to go right now, but I don't need to have an "immersive experience" with my board games; that's kind of why I like them. Call me "oldschool", but that is my opinion. I think they got inspired by the "little amusement park ride that could" franchise....

Apparently this is not breaking news--The following link leads back to a story posted on 06/19/07, and mentions Scarlett Johansson & Kirsten Dunst (!). Sounds like "Big (Gaming) Business" wants to use sex to sell more 'boards. What will they think of next? If I think about this too hard, I am only going to get disgusted.
