Not too long ago, numerous movies based on popular Hasbro games and toys were set up at Universal, who has since dropped out of most of them. One of them was for a movie based on the popular board game Candy Land, which now has a new home and a large star attached to help make it happen.

Universal has also tapped Kevin Lima to direct the feature. Lima has plenty of family experience, having directed Disney’s Tarzan and most recently, Enchanted.
