Brick Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It's a direct sequel to the original. Guess that means soft reboot where they ignore the other sequels, like Halloween 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 That looks really good. I'm always up for good horror and this didn't look like a boring jumpscare-fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleG Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Even if your not interested in Candyman , this should be watched. There isnt any blood or gore but that doesnt make it any easier to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 That is one creepy trailer, but a good creepy. That will have me waiting for a disc/streaming release in the comfort of my own home (but Covid restriction might do that for me too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I didn't realize this was a direct sequel? Slightly more interested now. I wasn't able to watch with sound just yet bit did they change the origin story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't able to watch with sound just yet bit did they change the origin story? Yep, a direct sequel to the 1992 original. I believe it ignores the two old sequels. While the screenplay was co-written by Jordan Peele (along with Win Rosenfeld and Nia DiCosta) this is really a Nia DiCosta film, since she's co-writing and directing it. Her claim to fame was the indie film Little Woods (starring Tessa Thompson and Lily James) from 2018. This looks to build on that interesting film, in a good way. But I'd only credit Jordan Peele's involvement creatively so much though I will say he not only co-wrote it but he is producing it (not just executive producing it, a very different role vs. producing). So his involvement is more than the usual as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original had a tragic tone I loved and I just remember the sequel being artless trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I thought I heard that 2 and 3 would still be part of the canon for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure - I was going off of Wikipedia which says it's only following the original (ala David Gordon Green's Halloween).

best3444 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 That looks solid. I met the original Candyman actor in 2004 and he was scary in person. I'd thought they bring him back for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I double checked and couldn't find anything. Even my first post I say it's a sequel to the first film with no mention of the other ones. Maybe I'm thinking of a different soft reboot sequel, or I've confused myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember that fondly because both of them were super cool and surprisingly chatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which make me super excited, Tony Todd is damn fine actor. His role as Ben in the remake NOTLD was so good and while the other actors/actress were not really notable , he carried that film. I really hate to use this term but I feel like hes underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Englund was my favorite because Freddy Krueger was my favorite growing up as a kid. Even Andy from Child's Play was there lol. 11 minutes ago, SimpleG said: Per IMDB he is in it and he is cast as Candyman. Which make me super excited, Tony Todd is damn fine actor.

silentbob Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 He was great as the Coroner in the Final Destination films and the voice for the evil flash in Season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Tony Todd is back as Candyman guys, Tony Todd is a great actor in a ton of things. Part of the reason to even be interested in this is they brought him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His list of roles is a mile long, from horror icon to cartoon VA, Star Trek, X files, Star Gate, and Broadway too. Mans a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
