Candyman (Sequel/Remake, 2020)

Rather than being a straight up remake, this new project is being called a "spiritual sequel" to the original CANDYMAN film as it will be returning to the neighbourhood where the legend began: the now-gentrified section of Chicago where the Cabrini-Green housing projects once stood. "The original was a landmark film for black representation in the horror genre.

Alongside ‘Night of the Living Dead,’ ‘Candyman’ was a major inspiration for me as a filmmaker — and to have a bold new talent like Nia at the helm of this project is truly exciting," said Jordan Peele in a statement. "We are honored to bring the next chapter in the ‘Candyman’ canon to life and eager to provide new audiences with an entry point to Clive Barker’s legend." Production on the film is expected to begin next spring and CANDYMAN has already been given a June 12, 2020 release.

Deadline later added that the script will be penned by Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld. In a further statement, MGM Motion Picture Group president Jonathan Glickman added:

We cannot wait for the world to see what the mind-blowing combination of Jordan, Win, and Nia bring to the legend of Candyman. They have created a story that will not only pay reverence to Clive Barker’s haunting and brilliant source material, but is also thoroughly modern and will bring in a whole new generation of fans.

Ach stimmt, der kommt ja noch. Seit meinem letzten Post in diesem Thread ist bereits ein Jahr vorbeigezogen, da habe ich den Film komplett vergessen.
