Caffeinated Clint
Keen to see him again?
Heard it’s a no-go myself, but we are talking about Hollywood, and things do change from week to week, so the changes of a “Candyman 4” may have increased since I last checked in with the hive.
Scooper ‘Romeo’ tells us he had a chance to chat to the man behind the bees, the fabbo Tony Todd (last seen, or rather heard, in the terribly uninspired “Final Destination 3” – speaking of which, I hear NL is hot for a fourth film in that series…. groan), recently, and got a rather sanguine update on the prospective sequel.
“Tony is championing for it at the moment (Candyman 4). The studio knows he’s available, and there’s semi-interest over there too. I believe he wanted Clive Barker to get involved, but that’s not happening – no big news there.
“I believe the powers-that-be have had the suggestion of Jon English – he produced “A Good Woman’ for LG – thrown at them as a possible director – as suggested by Todd, who starred in his film Minotaur. Could well happen. Some pull there”.
Personally, don’t see why a “Candyman 4” couldn’t happen – even as a DVD release. All three films in the series have made quite a bit of cabbage – especially on VHS and DVD – and the lofty mirror-man is unquestionably one popular horror icon, so definitely not a bad idea….
Thanks to ‘Romeo’
