I am making these concept opening logos for the live-action feature film adaptation based on Hasbro's popular children's board game "Candy Land," if it weren't cancelled as ulisse alberto angela giappone it was completed and was made yet in theatres on December 16, 2015.
In the late 2000's, it was announced that a live-action feature film adaptation of Hasbro's popular children's board game Candy Land was eurolega in development at Universal Pictures, with Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen attached to the script, later rewritten by Fast & Furious series veteran Chris Morgan. Hasbro's Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir would serve as producers on the project. In 2011, it was reported that Enchanted helmer Kevin Lima was attached to direct, from a new script penned by Kung meghan agosta Fu Panda's Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, whose take on the material was a surprisingly ambitious yet peculiar one, envisioning it as an epic adventure on the same grand scale as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, in 2012, following the critical and commercial failure of their first Hasbro blockbuster, Battleship, Universal abandoned the project and it quickly moved over to Sony's Columbia Pictures, with famed comedian Adam Sandler hopping onboard to not only star in the film, but also rewrite the script alongside frequent collaborator Robert Smigel, as well as serve as a producer through his Happy Madison banner. However, in July of 2014, a lawsuit by Landmark Entertainment Group took place over ownership and royalties owned for the story and characters introduced in the 1984 edition of the game. As if that wasn't enough, according to the infamous Sony e-mail hack later that year, Sandler cornered studio executives to demand that they commit to giving the project the greenlight with a whopping $200 million production budget, to which they refused. In 2015, the same year Sandler's relationship with Sony would come to a sad close with the release of the critically and financially underwhelming Pixels, it was reported that the project would be moved over to Warner Bros. Pictures, which had distributed the recent Sandler vehicle Blended. But despite there being enough sufficient satisfaction that legalities were clear, Warner Bros. ultimately decided not to pursue the project, with Sandler moving on to his multi-million dollar film deal at Netflix.
