      In all fairness I probably thought the same when they said they were spending over 100 million dollars to make a moved base on a theme ride in Disneyland.
      So I'll reserve judgement.

          I doubt this move is really about the board game Battleship. It's probably a case of having a story and then needing a brand to attach it to.

            Nah, they started with the brand, not the story.

            I could understand making a movie of Clue/Cluedo, but this crazy.

                  How do you pronounce that? Like Clue-doe or Clue-dew?

                    That money will inevitably make money hand over fist. Hell of an investment by the producers.

                        I'm not saying it isn't. I'm saying it's a bizarre name regardless.

                          Not really.

                            So it's clever to make a portmanteau using the apparent first-person singular Latin conjugation of 'play'? Really? Maybe if Cluedo were pronounced clue-dew with a rhyming effect, that would make sense.
