Gore Verbinski is attached to direct and produce Universal Pictures' big-screen adaptation of Hasbro's board game "Clue."
I didn't know this, but according to Variety, "Clue" passed $1 billion in sales in more than 50 countries. It is one of many board games that will end up on the big screen in the near future.
In the game, the players must solve a murder committed by either Professor Plum, Ms. White, Col. Mustard, Miss Peacock, Mr. Green or Ms. Scarlet.
Verbinski last directed "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." He's got several projects coming up, including "Rango" and "Bioshock."
Also in development are Ridley Scott's "Monopoly," Kevin Lima's "Candyland" and "Ouija," which Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes will produce.
