Ryan Reynolds's Clue Movie Will 'Potentially' Be R-Rated

Ryan Reynolds has successfully dirtied the once-spotless superhero movie record with his sarcastic, vulgar projection of Deadpool onto the big screen — and right now he and the film's writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are coming right after another untarnished, beloved childhood favorite: board games.


As previously reported, the trio is now working on a new live action Clue movie based on the classic game, also it seems like a given that Reynolds, Reese, and Wernick would infuse the murder mystery with comedy — just like the 1985 cult sensation starring Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd.


Nevertheless nevertheless in spite of the fact that the team praises the original as a magnificent movie," it seems they're going for something with a little bit more... Mouth.


"It will have elements of [the original movie], yet it’s critical that we don’t try and just rehash it," Reese told MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz at the NYC premiere of Deadpool 2, likening their adaptation approach to the one they took between the opening Deadpool and its sequel.


"We hope to build on it. We aspire to take some of what makes it fun and funny, however then we aspire to do our own thing. It’s about finding that balance. Hopefully we don’t angry the Clue-hounds because there really are a lot of these apparently. We didn’t realize this up until we signed up," he added.


While fans of the original movie may be harder to please, there really is one thing fans of their foul-mouthed franchise will appreciate. "Don't be surprised if Clue is a R-rated..." Wernick teased, adding a non-committal, "Potentially."


Sounds like this whodunnit tale could become more of a 'who fucking did that?'
