A Candyman remake is just not needed. Also the possibility of a white guy. I mean the original Candyman had such a great history that you could actually on some level sympathize with his character. But this is a mistake in the making. Tony Todd was fantastic in it.

Now a movie that is seriously in need for a remake is the Monster Squad and I will keep posting until somebody in Hollywood reading this can actually have this one done.

Kick him in the nards-classic.

I can picture the Movie execs getting the pitch for this:
"Ok we have this great idea, remember Candyman from the 90's?"
Head guy: "yes"
"OK nevermind that the 1st one was a nicely executed movie and the others were crappy,lets start fresh. Were going to put some electro upbeat or Numetal music, with cgi futuristic city's ,give Candyman a brand new look black leather pants coat and cowboy hat, either a pimp or goth look, we will put a bunch of Wasps on him ,yeah thats right Wasps, replace his hook with a japanese katana, set it during WW2 and 2020 and fill it with hot young teens and one pop culture guy or girl who needs a movie deal mm not Hilton,not Lohan, got it! Kim Kardashian will be his lover even tho shes Armenian and not jewish, perhaps Nicole from ***** cat dolls."
Head guy "im not sure ,im not convinced ,go on elaborate"
"ok Get this, he's a german who fell in love with a jewish girl and rebeled against the nazi's and was executed! And this time he's a good guy who fights evil nazis in the future like the Crow!"
Head guy "Brilliant! you have a deal sir!"

REMAKES!....you can Thank that ****ing lame Dawn of the Dead 2004 for them.
There coming up with Evil Dead remakes too...Oh and Hulk had one done in less than 5 years new record!...Sure the 1st one sucked but couldnt Marvel throw something else in there instead? Oh no thats right Marvel ran out of ideas 20 years ago...
Meanwhile The Walking Dead will probably never get a tv or movie deal...
DIE! HOLLYWOOD! DIE!

Head guy: "Oh and lets get some Hack Director who did videos for Britney Spears and NSync.
And make it more gruesome than Saw or Hostel cuz we have to go further than those."

"Yes sir, great ideas sir!"
Head guy: "thx i knew i was on to something"

head guy: "With 3 sequels already "planned" to milk it, maybe straight to DVD once people realise its not as good as the first Candyman."
Sir im sure its not the first time you hear this, but you sir are a Genious!"
head guy: "I know, lets make some cash! :)"
the entire room stand up and applause

Might sound silly but im sure it went something like that...

Are you ****ing kidding me? The movie isnt even 20yrs old yet and theyre going to make another ****ing remake. This is rediculous. I know that Hollywood is running out of ideas but gimme a ****ing break, remake a good horror movie if youre going to. Dont get me wrong the original Candyman scared the **** out of me but there are so many more horror films that can be remade. Personally I dont think that we should remake anymore because they all turn out like **** ie. Prom Night, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (and the abortion of a sequel that spawned two years later).

i do not know if they should reamake it or but if they do i think that they should have room with abunch of bounty paper towels and just for the movie they should call it bounty land and the candyman should say call me from bounty land who agrees? so that way it can be like aqua in lolipop who agrees?

I think a remake is stupid as the original was perfect but one thing you race obsessed doofuses forget:
CANDYMAN WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE EINSTEINS READ THE SHORT STORY IN BOOKS OF BLOOD.

Hollywood is stupid and bereft of ideas, but he was originally a Brit in London.

WHY?!?!?! This is totally ridiculous! There is no way in hell anyone could remake Candyman to be better than the original. And I can't imagine anyone besides Tony Todd as the iconic Candyman. Can't Hollywood come up with something original anymore???

Are you out your friggen mind!

What white man do you know that sell's candy in the getto. The Candy man movie was made based on the candy man that sold candy in the projects. If we did see a white man in the getto every body ran in the opposit diretion because we knew he was the MAN. If you want to make a new candy man make one based on an offspring of the guy in candy man 1,2,and 3. Otherwise don't bother.

What caucasian do you know sold candy in the getto. None, right? When I think back on my childhood in the projects and the candy lady or man that worked there seeling cool-aid frezz pops for a nickel,Black comes to mind. The only time I saw a cauasian in the getto was when they where in blue chaseing the brothers through the street. So it your going to make a new candy man make one with the seed of Candy man or don't bother.

Remakes should only be attempted A) If the original film is old enough, and B) If the original movie's potential couldnt / wasnt fully realised for one reason or another.

Candyman is a classic that comfortably stands the test of time today (Not that its even that old!) and is easily better than the majority of horrors released in the last 15 years!

A remake is just completely unnecessary, and they simply wouldn't be able to better it! All they would succeed in doing is pissing on the original film and its source material, It shows a complete lack of respect!!!

One of the only modern remakes i've seen that was decent was the Hills Have Eyes. Mainly as the original was average at best. Thats one in around 50. GIVE IT UP!!!!!!

A Candyman remake, is this some kind of a joke? I mean the film was released in what, `92? the films being remade these days are films from at least the 80s!!! and anyway there is NO WAY they could make Candyman any better, Bernard Rose did an excellent job in bringing him to life and in my opinion the film is one of the best AND scariest horrors of the 90s and all this talk of having a `white` Candyman is just plain ridiculous because pretty much the whole story is about racism and how Candyman was tortured for dating a white girl so why they would want to change the story is anyones guess!!? PLEASE DO NOT REMAKE this you money grabbing bastards!
