And this time it’s Bernard Rose’s Clive Barker adaptation Candyman.
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.
