Wheeeeeee … "Candy Land" is coming to the big screen courtesy of Universal Pictures.
Yep, Variety is reporting that the classic board game will soon be a live-action movie with Kevin Lima directing and Etan Cohen on board as writer.
I’m just not really feelin’ this one, people. Would it be a kid’s movie? A fantasy movie like "Enchanted"?
I’m guessing the second one, because Lima most recently directed Amy Adams in "Enchanted." Then again, Cohen recently wrote "Tropic Thunder," so that’s a pretty big stretch between those two movies!

The only other board-game movie I can think of is “Clue”. I never saw it, but I hear of it from time to time, so I guess it is just not so awful.
There are other odd film niches, such as videogame movies. I think there is yet to be a good one.
And don’t forget movies based on theme-park rides. There were actually a few until they got it right with the first “Pirates” movie.
