Sonic 3 shares significant links with one of Sonic's most cherished titles
=========================================================================
In the ever-evolving landscape of entertainment, several exciting updates have been announced recently. Here's a quick rundown of what's happening in the realm of film and television:
New "Clue" Adaptations on the Horizon
Hasbro Entertainment has joined forces with Sony's TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television to bring the classic murder mystery board game, Clue, to the big and small screens. While specific plot details and release dates for these new adaptations have yet to be disclosed, the partnership aims to reimagine the franchise after 75 years [2].
Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the "Clue" Cult Classic
As a prelude to the upcoming adaptations, a 40th anniversary celebration of the original 1985 "Clue" film is underway. The theatrical re-release will take place from August 26-28, 2025, with each screening showcasing one of the movie's unique original gimmicks – different screenings presenting one of three alternate endings, just like in its initial release. This event is set to tap into renewed interest in whodunit mysteries but is separate from the newly announced adaptations [1][3].
A 4K UHD Steelbook edition of the film is also scheduled for release on October 7, 2025 [4].
The Little Mermaid Gets a Horror Makeover
The Little Mermaid is set to take a darker turn, as it is being adapted into a horror film. Set on a small Caribbean island, the film's protagonist is Dr. Eric Prince, an archeologist, who uncovers a sinister secret [5]. A trailer for the film is now available for viewing (watch here).
