		<description><![CDATA[Since when did board games become so popular for film adaptations?

There's at least half a dozen in the works right now, the highest profile being Ridley Scott's proposed adaptation of the world famous board game MONOPOLY.

Now comes word from Variety that ENCHANTED director Kevin Lima has been hired by Universal to helm a movie based on CANDY LAND, with TROPIC THUNDER and IRON MAN 2 scribe Etan Cohen to come up with a screenplay.

It's the first movie that has come out of a deal Universal made with Hasbro last year to make three movies based on their board games after the studio were sick of seeing Paramount make so much money from TRANSFORMERS and seeing G.I. JOE go into production. 

It's not a board game I'm familiar of, I don't think it's a thing we have in Britain. Reading up on it, the game sounds very similar to SNAKES AND LADDERS and is a very simple "chase to the end" game which is aimed at 3-6 year olds. 

Most blog sites are defending the CANDY LAND project because of the talent involved here and are using the quality of ENCHANTED to say it might not be so bad. 

Well I fucking hated ENCHANTED... so ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Warner Bros. have put into development a movie based on the folklore legend TOM THUMB which will be mostly live action but the character of Tom himself likely to be CGI.

The Hollywood Reporter say Disney favourite Kevin Lima (ENCHANTED, TARZAN) will helm, with Robert Rodat (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, THE PATRIOT) attached to scribe.

WB's movie, which is being fast tracked is set to focus on the previously untold tale of his origins! It will be a comedy/adventure flick and will focus on the tragedy and heorism for a once glorious knight who has shrunk to the size of an insect.

Numerous TOM THUMB adaptations have been made over the years, the most famous being the 1958 musical directed by George Pal which, because it's lead was small, was titled "tom thumb" with no capital letters...

Dating back as far as the 1500's, TOM THUMBS tale often takes him for causing mischief at home, all the way to the Camelot and King Arthur. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Variety say it will be Kevin Lima who will adapt Joseph Delaney's childrens book Spook's Apprentice for Warner Bros. &#38; Legendary Pictures and not the duo of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp who were originally attached before the WGA strike kicked in.

Apparently Lima has become a much wanted director, especially at Disney, after his fantasy homage Enchanted made over $300 million worldwide.

Plot synopsis from Amazon...
A wonderful and terrifying series by a new writer about a young boy training to be an exorcist. Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son and has been apprenticed to the local Spook. The job is hard, the Spook is distant and many apprentices have failed before Thomas. Somehow Thomas must learn how to exorcise ghosts, contain witches and bind boggarts. But when he is tricked into freeing Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the County, the horror begins ...
Sounds an awful like The Spiderwick Chronicles and without Tim Burton, it's suddenly being chopped off my radar. There's nothing worse for my money than a bland fantasy movie, let's hope it doesn't turn into that.
