Miley Cyrus is out and Selena Gomez is in on the set of Adam Sandler’s upcoming vampire movie Hotel Transylvania. Selena will play Dracula’s daughter in the animated flick.

In the film Adam Sandler places a version of Dracula who operates a high-end resort outside of the human world. Dracula eventually freaks out when a boy from the human world discovers the park and falls for Dracula’s teen-aged daughter.

Also starring in Hotel Transylvania is Andy Samberg, Cee Lo Green and Kevin James, the movie is set for a September 2012 release date.

It’s a busy year for Gomez who is also slated to start shooting Spring Breakers in Florida, that movie costars James Franco and Vanessa Hudgens.

In the meantime Miley Cyrus hasn’t exactly been sitting still since Disney’s Hannah Montana went off the air, the Disney star has finished filming LOL and So Undercover which are both slated for 2012 releases.

I’m particularly interested in seeing how Cyrus handles So Undercover in which she plays a tough, street-smart private eye is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority. I simply can’t buy Miley as anyone other then a confused teen with a crush.

Do you think Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus make more sense for a dracula animated movie?

On Tuesday, January 31, the toy giant announced that funnyman Adam Sandler has been tapped to tackle the lead role in the movie, which will be distributed by Columbia Pictures.

“I think it will be a movie for the whole family,” Wayne S. Charness, senior vice president of communications for Rhode Island-based Hasbro, told Masslive.com. “It’s such a beloved brand. You just think about all the imagery in the game, and you can imagine what a wonderful world it will make on the screen.”

Not only will Sandler star in the Candy Land movie, but he’ll also write the script (alongside Robert Smigel) and produce it via his Happy Madison banner. Kevin Lima, the director of Enchanted (2007), is set to be in the director’s chair for this movie.

“The creative talent on board for this movie is amazing and we are excited to bring alive the world of Candy Land for kids and families everywhere,” Hasbro President and CEO Brian Goldner added. “Sony/Columbia has been a wonderful creative partner as we develop another of our games, ‘Risk,’ for the big screen. We are looking forward to working with Sony/Columbia and Adam Sandler and his team at Happy Madison Productions on this film.”

According to AceShowbiz, “Candy Land” is a live-action epic which centers on the adventure of a group, who try to find the lost king of Candy Land. The gang travel through such locales as the Candy Cane Forrest and Gum Drop Mountain.

The game-adapted movie project was initially developed at Universal Pictures, but the studio later ditched this Hasbro film.

Other potential movies adapted from board games which Universal has departed from in recent months include Ouija, Clue and Stretch Armstrong.

Adam Sandler to Write, Star in ‘Candy Land’ Movie is a post from: The Inquisitr

Gavin Rossdale has been honored with the title of “Best Celebrity Dad”! I’m sure it was a close call between Gavin Rossdale and Kevin Federline, who was graced with the “Father of the Year” Award this week by Las Vegas nightclub Prive. Ha. Which obviously represents a respected opinion on what makes for good parenting skills, right?

This time the award comes from a tabloid (only marginally better), but one thing’s definitely true: the nominees were pretty solid guys who seemed to deserve the award at least. In Touch named Ryan Philippe the runner-up for the award, with the following trailing behind: Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Adam Sandler, Jack Black, Will Smith, and Ben Affleck.

One question: where’s Brad Pitt? He has to handle twice the workload, and he does it with grace, too.
