Love the lead actor but who asked for this film? Am hoping it isn't some aimless cashgrab but I am kinda getting that vibe, maybe just me.

 

[OnThePathToWisdom]

No way this will capture the grimey atmosphere of the first one. And that philip glass soundtrack was amazing. This 'll be some woke crap most likely.

 

[V2Tommy]

The correct creator for this, so I have high hopes!

Candyman isn't the type of classic film that can't be improved upon.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Jordan Peels became such a hack.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I feel the same like when they announced Nightmare on Elm Street reboot without Robert Englund. Tony Todd is the only Candyman.

 

[Jooxed]

Jordan Peels became such a hack.

contrary to what this pleb thinks I liked Us and Get Out so i hope this is good.

 

[Mohonky]

Im....not feeling that trailer.

But its Jordan Peele so will be watching.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Get Out was good but man did US suck dick and not the girthy black kind.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

First one still holds up today. Not expecting much from this.

 

[plushyp]

Jordan Peels became such a hack.

I agree. His recent work has been very lacking, especially Us and that terribad Twilight Zone reboot.

 

[kunonabi]

Candyman is one of my favorite films, and is absolutely one of the best films of the 90s, but this just looks like a waste.

And yeah, Tony Todd is the character.

I'll pass.

 

[Mato]

Peele was kinda funny back in the day and I had a good chuckle, esp with Meghan. But his movies were a dull, pretentious waste of time.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Too diverse for me.

 

[Soleil rouge]

Trailer was cringe overload. Jordan is such a pretentious, hipster douche.

 

[Reon]

I miss the old Jordan Peele

 

[oagboghi2]

Just don’t say his name? Seems like an easy problem to fix

 

[Gargus]

Fuck Jordan Peele.

He said he won't cast whites in starring roles.

Jordan Peele on Making Movies After ‘Us’: “I Don’t See Myself Casting a White Dude As the Lead”

Hot off the record-breaking success of his latest high-minded horror flick, the writer-director advised Hollywood improv students on ego, marijuana use and why minority actors will always star in his films.

Now if a white director said he wouldn't cast blacks he would be strung up by his heels and lynched and canceled. He has said it many times as well and pretty much says he is racist without actually saying he is racist.

Besides that's all his movies are is an older movie with a shit load of racism forced in and he gets praised. Get out was the stepford wives down to the main character being a photographer. Us is just invasion of the body snatchers.

So no, fuck candyman. I won't support that dick.

Oh my god people are still whining about this?

if it’s his movie, he can cast whoever he wants as the main character

Which would be fine if all directors were afforded the same luxury.

 

[LegendOfKage]

I really dislike horror movies, and while I'm happy for Jordan Peele, I'm also very sad that the world may never again see another Keanu style comedy from Key and Peele.

 

[DeafTourette]

Woody Allen is. So are others who cast all white actors.

And they get constant shit for it.

 

[DeafTourette]

And they get constant shit for it.

Not from the actors, critics, producers or studios. They heap praise on him.

Actors even take pay cuts to be in his movies

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

Nice of him to take the creation of Clive Barker and subvert it to his racial ideology.

The Emperor is naked.

I have no idea where the release of this stands now, but saw this on Twitter just now

[poppabk]

This would actually be a timely reboot if done properly. Get Out was a solid film until the final third - where all the eeirie tension deflates rapidly. US was just sort of enjoyable but incoherent.

I thought I was the only one in the world that thought the 3rd act of Get Out was weak. Really enjoyed the buildup but the conclusion felt rushed and anticlimactic.

Us was just cheesy and bad the whole way through.

But I'm wondering if everyone complaining that the new Candy Man will be too woke even saw the original . If you don't want social commentary don't watch Candy Man in general. It's pretty heavy handed. I personally thought the original was pretty cheesy. Definitely not a masterpiece or anything.

On the subject of the movie: it looks like it could be decent. Looking forward to checking it out.

Holy shit that's a great trailer.

 

[Stouffers]

I remember watching the original as a kid. I didn’t understand the bee thing.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Doesn't this perpetuate black stereotypes?

When are we canceling this?

 

[Airola]

Yeah, if it's official the new trailer is very good!

I've always liked teasers more than full trailers. Teasers usually show the essence of the movie without showing too much of anything.
While the new trailer doesn't show anything from the movie and while it is basically just the backstory, it shows the idea and basically its new twist in a very effective way.

Of course it could be that it's not an official trailer but something some fan made, but nevertheless it's really good!

Candyman Will Now Unwrap In 2021

 

[Airola]

Get Out was good but man did US suck dick and not the girthy black kind.

Yeah, saw both movies at a movie theater and Us was one of the worst disappointments I've had what comes to movies. I don't think Get Out was a masterpiece but it was a good twilightzonish thing.

The initial trailers for Us looked promising even though I usually dislike most trailers. Us had great 10-15 minutes but it started to fall apart quickly after that. The woman talking with that "voiceless" voice was immediately quite cringy and didn't get better at any point. The trailer had some actual creepiness in it and I liked the poster as I have always found eyes that are really open like that very creepy (probably came from seeing Michael Jackson's Thriller when I was 4) but too bad none of that worked in the movie.

 

[jason10mm]

I hope this film is gonna go REALLY meta and have the white characters, terrified of black masculinity, summon Freddy Krueger, the epitome of cucked white fragility (and a pedo to boot!), to do battle against pimp stylin' Candyman in the titanic finale!

Jason Voorhees, representing white neck beard incels lashing out at hypersexualized femininity, can join in! Michael Meyers, as stoic implacable White Privilege, will of course sit it out.
