Word is that a Candyman remake is the works, but instead of keeping in line with the original, there are rumors floating around that Candyman is going to be a white guy.
Brilliant. I can't wait to see how they shuffle this one around, since the slavery backstory and hanging out in Cabrini Green are pretty much out the window now.
A white guy? That's just a slap in the face. Tony Todd must be furious. What happened to the sequel with Clive Barker attached that ignored the sequels? Candyman is a really solid film that absolutely still holds up today. There's no way you can make it better. WTF is this BS
Unbelievable. I really like the first film, not seen in ages but to remake it with this intention is just bizarre. I can enjoy all three films mainly because of Tony Todd. To not use him is somewhat what Elm Street would be without Robert Englund as Freddy. Straight to dvd probably but what a slap in the face to the original.
The problem with remaking a classic film is even if you succeed in making it "as good as the original" it still won't be classified as good enough, remember Candyman was made in 1992 where are now in 2008. I will never write it off cause you just never know, but I'm finding it hard to vision how they can make it better than the original apart from todays special effects.
the first candyman is a great flick because it is not just a slasher movie, it has a great Barker story and plot.If they put a white guy in the lead role...Barker will kill himself. It won't happen.
