What a silly little guy

Murder at the Tudor Hall: a Cluedo fan casting

Ten characters, nine weapons, ten rooms, one murder. Let's play.

Giancarlo Esposito - Mr. Boddy, the victim, owner of luxury Boden Black Hotel.

The suspects:

Daniela Melchior - Miss Scarlett, the femme fatale, cunning and attractive.

Tony Dalton - Colonel Mustard, the retired military officer, who is known to sleep with a revolver under his pillow.

Kat Dennings - Mrs. White, housekeeper and cook of Tudor Hall, with an eye squint from spying in keyholes.

David Lynch - Reverend Green, a hypocritical preacher who wavers when the subject is murder.

Halle Berry - Mrs. Peacock, a successful and tenacious attorney who knows how to command a room, court or otherwise.

Jude Law - Professor Plum, an archaeologist and Egyptologist who formerly worked as the curator of the British Museum before he was fired.

Karen Fukuhara - Dr. Orchid,  a biologist who specializes in plant toxicology.

Lily-Rose Depp - Yvette, a young French maid at Tudor Hall.

Ricky Gervais - Wadsworth, the butler at Tudor Hall.

Who has done it?

Some Clue headcanons (mostly for the games):

My only movie headcanon: Everyone thinks Miss Scarlett got her name because she runs a brothel, but Scarlett is actually her first name. Her last name is O'Hara. No, she never tells anybody.

Professor Plum doesn't use his real name at all. His real name is Jack Horner. He's also not actually a professor. He never graduated because he had to leave town in a hurry. He's only recognized as an archaeologist because he made an important find in South America and wrote a paper on it.

Colonel Mustard was raised in England by English parents, but he was born in France. (Get it? French's mustard?)

Monsieur Brunette is neither brunette nor French. He's an American with dirty blonde hair, but he started dying it to avoid recognition. But he's not fooling anybody with that bad accent.

The movie made Mrs. White out to be a sort of a black widow, but in the games, the real black widow was Mrs. Peacock. Her nickname is the "bird of prey."

Miss Peach wasn't completely lying- she really is Mr. Boddy's long-lost grand-niece. But she wasn't the least bit interested in family, just money.

Madame Rose isn't Hungarian, or even of Hungarian descent. She just has a flair for fortune-telling, and she loves goulash. She's also much better at a Hungarian accent than Brunette is at French.

BTW, the headcanon for Plum, who the game manual described as an archaeologist, is partly inspired by real-life paleontologist Jack Horner. Jack Horner didn't graduate from paleontology school, but he wrote several theses and was the one who discovered the Maiasaura at Egg Mountain in Montana, along with numerous other finds.

ROUND ONE -- the Murder Crew (Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Mr. Boddy/Dr. Black, Dr. Orchid, Miss Scarlett, Mrs. White, and Mrs. Peacock) VS. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leonardo, Donatella, Michelangelo, and Raphael)

[im-overstimulated-and-im-sad]

So many of the weapons in Clue are literally just for hitting someone on the head

[antiisocialbunny]

ok but consider this

what if its like at the end of Clue and it turns out everybody had a hand in killing maddie? like the lights flick off and everybody stabs her in boiler room?

Elimination Round 1: Poll 4

[chemical-bunz]

These lil animations won’t end up in the game, sadly, but I still want to share them!

[rumor-weed]

Anything more on Stephan or this 'Cassidy'?

“Boy, I know ya asked this nine years ago, but we didn’t really have an answer ‘til now. Looks like Stephan - er, was it Stefan? Never knew how to spell that pronunciation - might’ve been disappeared by a few guilty vegetables who all seem to be claimin’ THEY did it. Maybe they all did. Maybe nobody did. How come they all got alibis for why they couldn’t have done it, but they’re all swearin’ they did? Stephan’s gone, though. We haven’t seen the prince in ages - rumor has it he wasn’t even a prince, Anon. Maybe he was just some rich kid pullin’ some weird of sort of prank, one of those scam ‘fake prince’ emails that found someone who took the bait. Could be. That’s just a theory. A Rumor Theory.”

Audrey paused and considered the next name.

“Cassidy… ah! The child Archibald adopted without really askin’ his wife first, huh? That’s a good question, Anon! But uh… well, I don’t think we ever got answers. Sometimes I wonder if she was even real. The twins sure weren’t! But we all thought we saw them, right? Weird. But Cassidy… well, I liked her fine, I guess. I’d hope, if she was real, she’s just grown up, unlike the rest of us, and escaped to somewhere safer. Something weird about this town. Water that makes ya never age? Vampires? Serial killers? Paparazzi for a mildly popular but dyin’ kids show? It just doesn’t add up. And now Archibald is back. He’s back, Anon, and I don’t know what to think of it. It just isn’t right. He claims not to remember the last ten years! But Lovey claims she murdered him. Well, he’s not the first person to come back from the dead, a little different from when we last saw him. There’s that whole Art Bigotti thing too. I wasn’t around when he was Jumanji’d, but there’s somethin’ fishy for sure with him. And Mom Asparagus, well, if she’s dead, who’s to say she’d stay dead either?”

Audrey nodded as she determined it. “Actually, I suppose, until we find her, she is simultaneously both dead and alive. Schrodinger’s Mom Asparagus, I guess. But who’s to say for sure? Do we really wanna open that box? Risk the smell? She’s been gone a few days now. Are answers really worth it? So whatever happened to the others who we haven’t seen in years, such as Stephan, Cassidy, or really anyone else, it’s impossible to know for sure who’s capable of comin’ back. Can’t say I’d mind, it’d shake things up a little. Lots more rumors to share. But uh, I just hope they have a good sense of humor. Ten years and a lot changes. We all just want to laugh and poke fun at the people we used to be, affectionately, because we know ourselves now. It’s nice to not take yourself too seriously, right?”

She gave the anon a long look, contemplating. Nine years waiting on an answer they must’ve long given up on. and yet, here she was, answering it all the same. Times moves on, but sometimes no matter how far we walk, we eventually end up in the same places again, just a little different from the last time we were here. She wondered if the anon, who really probably had left the message behind and forgot about it, was doing all right, wherever they were. It was hard not to wonder who wrote the message. A friend? A stranger? A neighbor? The creator of My Immortal?

Anything was possible.

And wasn’t that beautiful?

She looked forward, as if she were looking directly at the screen, and she curled her leaf into a ‘C’ shape. “And that’s how Audrey… ‘C’s it.”

[warrenwaskilledbyadeer]

I just had a sudden memory that many years ago I found this book from like the 60s or 70s that was based on the game Clue, and the premise of it was that it had turned out Mr. Boddy wasn't actually dead at all they just thought he was, he'd fainted from the shock of attempted murder being performed on him

The murderer (I don't remember who it was) apologized profusely and Mr. Boddy frankly forgave them and then I KID YOU NOT IT WAS LIKE SLICE-OF-LIFE SHENANIGANS WITH ALL OF THEM LIVING AT THE MANSION TOGETHER, JUST A BUNCH OF MINI VIGNETTES LIKE FREAKING WAYNE FAMILY ADVENTURES

I don't remember much about it but Mr. Boddy was the sweetest, kindest little man and he was very nervous and socially awkward, he had the most mishaps of any of them

The final story in the book was where they all tried to throw Mr. Boddy a surprise birthday party and he thought they were trying to kill him again and he fainted again

WTF WHAT WAS THIS BOOK I HAVE TO FIND IT IT'S RIDICULOUS

[hitchell-mope]

Boddy’s body has upped and gone.

CLUE: The Movie AU for Spooky Month !!!

It is exactly what you think it is!!!

An au of a movie from the 80s that's based off of a board game!

You can tell the roles obviously, but I should state that the names Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Ms White, Mr Green, Ms Peacock and Professor Plum and even Mr Boddy are all aliases!! They still have their real names but in the context of the movie they aren't referred to them as that because of plot reasons !!

Father's label on his head has been changed from "DAD" to "BOSS" because the latter simply makes more sense in the context of the au !!
