Forget JACK AND JILL…Adam Sandler Will Star in the New CANDY LAND Movie

And you thought JACK AND JILL was bad.  Or maybe you were talking about GROWN UPS.  No?  JUST GO WITH IT?  BEDTIME STORIES?

No matter which recently horrible Adam Sandler movie you were talking about, get ready to add one more to the list.  A few months ago, we heard that a CANDY LAND movie was in development, and now comes word that Adam Sandler is attached to star.

According to Worst Previews, Sandler and Robert Smigel will write the screenplay for the film as well.  Columbia Pictures, Happy Madison and Hasbro are all on board to produce, with ENCHANTED directed Kevin Lima attached to direct.  Columbia said in a statement:

“‘Candy Land’ is more than just a game. It is a brand that children, parents and grandparents know and love…The world of ‘Candy Land’ offers an extraordinary canvas upon which to create a fantastical, live-action family adventure film with a larger than life part for Adam.”

Yeah…I bet they said the same about “Battleship.”  *Cough*
