Universal is moving several spaces up the board with "
Clue," a big-screen take on the classic game, and is in final negotiations with "Pirates of the Caribbean" helmer Gore Verbinski to direct and produce.
The project comes as part of a partnership between Universal and Hasbro to develop iconic board games into movies. A number of other properties have big names attached to them, including "Candyland," which has Kevin Lima attached to direct and Etan Cohen to write, and "Ouija Board," which Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is producing. And Ridley Scott is on board to produce "Monopoly."
