Clue is getting a remake, and Nia DaCosta has the perfect pitch for it. The filmmaker, who directed the upcoming 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, recently offered an idea of a location for the whodunnit movie, and even which character her favorite leading lady Tessa Thompson would play.

During a Reddit chat with fans, a user asked DaCosta: "Sony has secured the rights to remake the cult classic; Clue. If you were giving the helm to write and direct the remake. What would your take on it be? And which character would Tessa Thompson play?"

Besides being a hilarious black comedy which pays tribute to the iconic game, Clue is also remembered because it infamously featured a number of different endings – a smart and fun way to mimic the experience of playing the board game, which includes multiple scenarios and potential killers.
