| Email Correspondence with Jonathan Lynn - 2003
The following is the transcription of email correspondence between the site owner and Jonathan Lynn, the director, screenwriter and co-story creator of Clue, the Movie. Email #1 from Site Owner to Jonathan Lynn: From: Michael Akers (michael@theartofmurder.com) Date: Monday, July 21, 2003 8:16 PM To: Jonathan Lynn Subject: CLUE - jonathanlynn.com Hi! I'm not sure who is getting this email, but first let me say that I am an admirer of Mr. Lynn's work! I was very excited to run across jonathanlynn.com. I was hoping that somebody might be of assistance to me. First - I have a collection of nearly 300 different Clue items (everything from the games and books to the movie memorabilia). I catalog my website at http://www.TheArtofMurder.com . I noticed that your website has a few links to other prominent Clue websites. I would be honored if you would consider adding mine as there is quite a large section on the movie. Second - I have autographed photos of nearly all the prominent persons in the movie Clue, but lack one of Mr. Lynn. I search eBay often, but have never run across one. Is there any chance you might point me in the right direction of how to obtain one? Third and Lastly (a long shot, I'm sure!) In my collection I have what I believe are a second, third, and shooting draft of the movie script. I find them to be totally fascinating and really enjoy discovering the differences of each. I would kill (pun intended) to get my hands on a first draft copy. Any thoughts on the reality of this? Thanks so much, Michael Akers (New York) P.S. I'm really looking forward to the release of The Fighting Temptations! Response #1 from Jonathan Lynn's Agent's Assistant From: Kamins, Asst.

I have asked my agent to send you a signed photo, as you requested. I have also asked my website designer to link to yours. I can’t imagine how you got second, third and shooting drafts of the movie. I’m impressed. You are obviously a diligent and determined collector. I’m sorry I can’t help you with the first draft, but I don’t think I have anything except the shooting draft. I hope you enjoy The Fighting Temptations. Tell your friends to go on the first week-end!
