And now...Candyman being remade?!
August 15, 2008
Sony Pictures is reportedly considering remaking their 1992 horror cult classic Candyman, based on the character created by novelist Clive Barker in his story The Forbidden.
According to Shock Till You Drop, Sony wants to exploit their brand-name horror icon the way that other studios have brought (or are bringing) back Leatherface, Jason, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger.
The site adds that no writer or director is set yet, but rumor has it that the Candyman, a.k.a. Daniel Robitaille, will be white in the remake. He was played in the three previous installments by African-American actor Tony Todd.
