There's not really a Candy Crush movie on the horizon. But if there were, it would probably go something like this.
Late Show host Stephen Colbert found some creative inspiration in Activision Blizzard's recent $5.9 billion acquisition of King, the publisher of Candy Crush. So he got his buddy and fellow actor Liam Neeson to swing by the studio, don a colorful outfit and impale himself on an oversized candy cane, all in the name of comedy.
Does it work? Not really, no. But Colbert sneaks in some clever jabs at the insidious lure of free-to-play gaming. And it's always fun to see Neeson putting aside his whole "I'm the badass star of Taken, don't mess with me" vibe to get a little silly.
