Jason Bateman is enjoying a nice career surge right now. The comedic actor (turned producer and director) is reportedly going to be following his recent Emmy win for Netflix's
Ozark by taking on the
Clue movie reboot for Fox/Disney. Bateman is reportedly looking to keep
Deadpool's Ryan Reynolds as the star of the
Clue reboot, with Bateman also set to star, in addition to directing. The two actors are said to be collaborating on the script together, presumably re-working the earlier draft of the
Clue reboot that was done by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (
Deadpool and
Zombieland).
Deadline dropped the report about Bateman and Reynolds jumping aboard
Clue, but there are little other details or insights into the project, beyond that.
