Candyman Remake?


Shocktilyoudrop have news on a possible remake of the Candyman who appears if you say his name five times while looking into a mirror. I could never figure out why you would actually want to do that which makes him quite ineffective as a movie Big Bad.
Shock learned today Sony and the rights holder to the film franchise -
which has spanned three installments - are mulling over plans to resurrect the
hook-handed, pimp coat wearin' urban legend made famous by Tony Todd. It's all
"early talks" (I was told one idea was to make the titular killer a Caucasian
fella) with no writer or director attached at this time.


Candyman's screen life - based on Barker's short story The
Forbidden - began in '92 at Sony. He bounced from MGM then to Artisan for the
sequels Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and Candyman: Day of the Dead,
respectively. The third chapter was released in '99.


Discuss in the forum.
