" Gore Verbinski has been tapped to helm Universal&amp;#039;s live-action adaptation of the popular board game Clue, reports Variety.  The Pirates Of The Caribbean director will also produce under his Universal-based Blink Wink banner alongside Hasbro&amp;#039;s Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir. Discussing the movie, Blink Wink&amp;#039;s senior vice president Jonathan Krauss described it as a &amp;quot;global thriller and transmedia event that uses deductive reasoning as its storytelling engine&amp;quot;.  A film version of Clue, known as Cluedo in the UK, was released in 1985 and starred Tim Curry.  The latest movie is the result of a deal inked between Universal and Hasbro last year, with the studio aspiring to develop at least four projects based on brands including Monopoly, Magic and Stretch Armstrong.
