Universal Pictures is stuck on bringing board game — Candy Land – to the big screen with some talented folks to start it off sweet.  

The studio has set Ethan Cohen to write and Kevin Lima to direct a live-action feature based on the enduring Hasbro board game.

The kid-friendly board game isn’t as obvious an inspiration for a movie project as those other Hasbro brands, but the studio has tapped talent adept at comedy and family fare.
