First Ridley Scott has been confirmed to direct the “Monopoly” movie as part of the huge deal with Hasbro making movies with studios, next here comes “Candyland” getting the greenlight by Universal Pictures. Universal has signed Kevin Lima to direct and Etan Cohen to write “Candyland” the board game about to make a live action film.
Kevin Lima is most well known for helming Disney’s “Enchanted” that starred Amy Adams. There is no plot/synopsis for “Candyland” yet, but Universal plans to make it a comedy and family oriented.
I’m betting your money that Lima will get Amy Adams to star the female lead in “Candyland”. Knowing how Lima did a wonderful job with “Enchanted”, I’m sure he won’t dissapoint in “Candyland” as well. He’ll put smiles on people’s faces in “Candyland” just like he did with “Enchanted”. I can see why Universal would want him. Lima is a perfect choice! Bring it on!
Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” has got a release date!!! Announced on New Year’s Eve, “Inglorious Bastards” will be released August 21st of 2009 of this year. The August 21st release date comes just after a few months of the Cannes Festival begins around May. Tarantino’s goal was that he hopes to have “Bastards” completed before Cannes Festival so he can debut his film there before release date, his wish may come true.
“Inglorious Bastards” stars Brad Pitt, Mike Myers and a bunch of other casts. “Bastards” took Tarantino years and years to write the script, he’s finally getting the film off the ground and moving forward. The film will be distributed and released through Universal Pictures.
It looks like Quentin Tarantino’s WWII project “Inglorious Bastards” will land at Universal Studios. The studio has inked a deal with the Weinstein Co. to finally bring Tarantino’s new flick to the big screen.
Tarantino is also getting close to signing Brad Pitt to the leading role as he just met up with Brad to ask him in person.
Filming is scheduled to begin this fall in Germany and France. Brad Pitt is the first cast member to be considered to this flick so far. Tarantino continues to shoot down rumours of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis being in the flick too.
It’s great that he’s finally getting this project off the ground, looking forward to it. Could this film possibly dominate box office as the Dark Knight did? It wouldn’t surprise me.
