Apparently, comic book adaptations are old news, these days, board games are all the rage. ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ director Gore Verbinksi has signed on to direct and produce ‘Clue.’ Of course, ‘Clue’ is the infamous board game where players solve murders committed by Professor Plum, Ms. White, Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, Miss Peacock, or …
Adam Sandler is being sued by comic book author Robert Cabell for stealing the idea for Sandler’s last comedy, ‘You Don’t Mess with The Zohan.’ The infrigement suit names Sandler and his fellow Happy Madison Productions suits, Sony, and Columbia Pictures.
