And it's starring Adam Sandler!

The bigger news is the long-in-development movie based on the classic board game Candy Land. The movie was recently one of several Hasbro projects dropped by Universal Pictures, which still has Battleship, the first movie produced under that disintegrating deal, coming out this summer. Hasbro moved Candy Land to Columbia Pictures, along with attaching Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison production company. Adam Sandler will star in Candy Land, as well as cowrite with Robert Smigel, who also worked with Sandler on You Don't Mess with the Zohan. There's no word as to whether any of the previous writers will remain involved, but director Kevin Lima (Enchanted, 102 Dalmatians) is still attached to direct Candy Land despite the studio move. First published in 1949, Candy Land is a children's board game that takes players through a series of candy-themed areas such as the Candy Cane Forest, the Lollypop Woods and Gum Drop Mountain. There are several male characters in the game, such as Lord Licorice, Mr. Mint and King Candy, but it's not yet known what role Adam Sandler will be playing
