Now that you've played all those Hasbro games, how about watching them on the big screen?

Universal is currently developing a movie version of "Candy Land," one of many of Hasbro's popular racing board games.

Etan Cohen, whose credits include "Tropic Thunder" and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," is set to write the screenplay.

Directing the live-action film is Kevin Lima, the guy who also helmed 1999's "Tarzan," "102 Dalmatians" and "Enchanted."

I don't know much about this game, but from what I've read it involves some characters trying to find the lost king of Candy Land. Or something like that.

"Candy Land" is certainly not the only board game to come to the big screen. Last November, Ridley Scott announced he will direct a film version based on "Monopoly." "Battleship" and "Ouija" are also in development.

What do you do in Hollywood when original ideas run out? You adapt everything there is tp adapt, like it or not...
