"It's always great when a group of nerdy-friends digitally get together to make home movies," says director and performer Jason Michael Snow. "This fan club of the film Clue was formed when we had the time of our lives performing the screenplay for the 30th anniversary gala. This is one of the busiest groups of actors I can think of and when we all had to self-quarantine from home, everyone immediately signed on to bring the 'dining room scene' to life," adds director Drucker.
Based on the popular board game, set in a Gothic mansion, and featuring three alternate endings in keeping with the game's whodunit theme, Clue starred a who's who of comedy greats including Tim Curry, Michael McKean, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull, and Leslie Ann Warren. The fast-talking, high-concept film went on to become a cult classic (Buzzfeed hails it as "one of the most beloved films of the 1980s").
The video is being used to raise awareness for The Actors Fund and asking for donations to be made.
