Tonka trucks are to star in their own big screen adventure, it was revealed today. The animated project, which is to be co-produced by Adam Sandler’s company Happy Madison, is described by Sony's Bob Osher as "a family friendly motion picture that brings the Tonka experience to life." I Want Candy writer Fred Wolf is working on the script but as yet no director has been named.
If you thought Battleship was stretching a game concept too far, it's time to brace yourself for a host of similar projects. As Hasbro also look into adapting their more grown-up game Risk, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are working on a film about lego. They have lots of visual ideas and describe it as very much action-based but there is still no word on what the plot will involve.
Some directors, however, know what toys are really for - to be played with. Ridley Scott was recently spotted at a Prometheus promo using a toy alien to fend off journalists.
