Candyman [June 12th, 2020] First Trailer
- Thread starter wenis
- Start date
Say My Name mixed with the original Philip Glass score? Mwah.
Candyman is easily my favorite horror movie, and has so much more going on in it than most people seem to give it credit for (the first one, sequels are trash). Looking forward to this.

Looks alright but I've been hearing Tony Todd is only a cameo and the lead character is a new Candyman (seems to be turning into Candyman in the trailer) which sounds dumb as hell.
Hope that doesn't turn out to be true and Tony Todd is used more because he is what made the original so great.

The first movie was such a delightful surprise when I watched it a few years ago. I'm interested in this one but can't say I'm excited just yet. Though, it kind of feels like it could be a re-sequel or whatever they call them instead of a hard remake. If that's the case that would raise my interest a good bit.
I think it depends on how they execute it; thematically it can tie it very well with the whole urban legend sort of thing I think. It's hard to say though, I'm not really remembering the first movie that well at the moment but I could see it being somewhat of a natural progression in concept anyway
I appreciate that they're doing a similar take on the story of the first movie, where the only thing Candyman hates more than teenagers calling him is skeptics poking into his legend.
I don't know about the new coat though. I liked the old black trenchcoat.

I can't believe I couldn't guess what song they'd use for this one. It seems so obvious in hindsight.
not a fan really. missing a lot of the marks that I enjoyed from the original. the white protagonist may be needed to clash with the black and urban mythology (Helen lyle in the original), otherwise you lose that and then it's just white teenagers getting killed in the bathroom at school. but for what
In the old movie he was framing the main character for his murders while simultaneously spreading his own legend through the already extremely paranoid populace of Cabrini Green. The trailer seems to imply a similar situation with this movie, although more in the vein of Nightmare on Elm Street 2 than just framing them.
If I had to take any sort of guess at all
New guy moves into Cabrini Green and starts poking his nose in the mythos but remains skeptical, pissing off Candyman, prompting him to go after the new guy as a special case, while simultaneously pinning him for the murders and driving him into madness to become the new Candyman after death much like Helen did at the end of the first movie.
What if Tony Todd cameos but he's his character from Final Destination picking up bodies in Cabrini Green
Um, yeah... The brutally grim nature of the original is completely gone here. This has that audience-friendly, horror-lite vibe going on. The Peele style from Get Out and Us isn't Candyman.
and Say My Name? Really? lol

Oh shit that didn't even register to me.
Wonder if that means someone's gonna end up accidentally summoning Helen
I love the original, especially as a lifelong Chicagoan. I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I didn't think the trailer was amazing, but it definitely wasn't bad either. If this is a continuation of the story from the original, I'm really hoping Helen makes an appearance.
Monkeypaw Production does another excellent trailer. I knew Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was in it didn't know Colman Domingo was in it also. Of course I am going to see this.
You can change the tone of any movie with a trailer. We won't know the true tone of the movie until we actually see it.
Also, you're better off not comparing it to the first movie cause this is done by a different team and director and they are going to do it with their vision in mind.

Having the baby and mom of the original being the protagonists in this makes all the "obsessed with Candyman/becoming Candyman" stuff work so much better in context. Like all that imagery is pretty haunting in that context
Candyman theme is one of the greatest in horror so mixing it with a Destiny's Child song is beyond fucking stupid.
Also - and I mentioned this in another thread - it really bothers me that Clive Barker's name isn't anywhere on this trailer or the poster.
I'm really hopeful that this pans out however because there looks to be some serious talent behind it.

Aye I cringed hard at that.
Looking forward to see where they take the story though. Absolutely adore the original
So we've got a lot of fans of the original in here (who all have excellent taste) so how many of you liked Farewell to the Flesh?
Not as good as the first but I always loved the setting and the expansion of the mythology.

Now that we know more of the plot (Anthony McCoy is the protagonist, his mother is present, Helen has been recasted and is a part of the story), this premise is easily the best, most thematically appropriate route they could have gone. Even better than making Todd the central Candyman
"Our names will be written on a thousand walls. Our crimes told and retold by our faithful believers. We shall die together in front of their very eyes and give them something to be haunted by. Come with me and be immortal."
That child facing the consequences of the immortal legacy: "He had a purpose for you, to be another one of his terrible stories"

Hope there's a 3rd act twist, because the trailer showing the Elm Street 2 scenario kinda iced my excitement.
I feel like I was better off not seeing the trailer at all. Excited to watch Peele's script, but that just gave me too much information.
The assault of stock squishy sound effects had me cracking me up throughout, audio mixer amateur hour over here.
Has potential though, glad to see Yahya Abdul-Mateen in the lead.
