‘Candyman‘s remake has received a new release following the outbreak of the global health crisis.
Full story below…
Jordan Peele‘s revival of the horror was supposed to impact theatres in June but saw its due date moved to September to protect its ticket sales from the havoc COVID-19 wreaked on the movie-making business.
Now, the release will land on October 16th 2020.
Good news for the millions who are expected to turn it into one of the biggest cinematic hits of the year.
For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Mateen) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Parris), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials. With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Domingo) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifyingly viral wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.
Sounds like fun, eh?
