To an extent, yes, I think adaptations of properties that have been there as long as movies have ARE different, if only because of length of exposure. There have been so many versions of Three Musketeers, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, your choice of Shakespeare, etc, that most people are just used to the idea that there's gonna be more of them and just pick their favourites. Long runner franchises are just different. I think it's more usually one-off things that people are more leery of remakes of, because it's a single thing that they're more attached to on its own merits.

I'm not sure what they're going to do with Clue. Which bits of it they're remaking, I mean. The base concept from the game isn't exactly that specific - it's deliberately the most generic 'isolated house full of murderers' thing possible, so a movie called 'Clue' could be any number of things. There's the multiple endings gimmick and the specific character versions the movie went with, but the original had both a particular sense of humour and a particular cast chemistry that's gonna be hard to mimic, and I'm almost hoping they don't try.

Also it's going to be hard to replace the incomparable Madeline Kahn.
