Jonathan Lynn

It is an adaptation of the board game.

It's directed by Jonathan Lynn, but also, like, John Landis was heavily involved.

Hey.

Hey.

bombastic more like unbelievable but more fun right like you're gonna laugh a shit ton at this movie if you haven't seen it

Yeah, so the director's Jonathan Lynn.

He did My Cousin Vinny, the whole nine yards, so really solid comedic director.

It's got a very British feeling to it, like the humor, like the dry dialogue, double entendres, characters on top of it, farce as well, like Three Stooges almost, like physical comedy, some heaving chests, some very nice bosoms, sexual innuendo, like...

C, one ending was only shown in the UK.

D, Jonathan Lynn filmed a fifth ending as a joke for the crew.

Oh, I'm going to go with C.

No, it was a fourth ending was shot in which Wadsworth poisons the guests to eliminate every witness.

Sounds like a good mix.

However, their asking price was too high, and so it finally came down to a guy named Jonathan Lynn.

So he was writer number six.

[laughs]

Yes.

They're being blackmailed, and that single idea just kind of unlocked everything and then made the story come alive, and he just, he killed it after that.

Yeah, if you're not familiar with the name Jonathan Lynn, he is mainly known for British comedies.

He writes a lot of dry humor, which is perfect because that really is, that kind of humor is the backbone for this film.

As far as the cast, Carrie Fisher was cast as Miss Scarlet, but had to withdraw to go to rehab.

The director, Jonathan Lynn, who also did My Cousin Benny and The Whole Nine Yards, his first choice for Wadsworth was Leonard Rossiter, but he passed away before production.

So then he wanted to go to Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean, but didn't feel like he had...

The popularity of the time.

true.

There was actually a fourth ending that was filmed...

But it got cut because the director felt it lacked punch.

In it, Wadsworth is the mastermind who poisons the remaining guests to ensure their silence.

Number five, Wayne's World, directed by Penelope Spheeris.

Number six, My Cousin Vinny, directed by Jonathan Lynn.

Number seven, Thunderheart, directed by Michael Apted.

Quit talking and start mixing.
