Producer Jordan Peele’s ‘spiritual sequel’ to the 1992 urban legend hit returns to
Chicago for more mayhem
A sequel to Candyman, doubling up as a reinvention, is heading to cinemas this summer from Oscar-winning producer Jordan Peele, with the first
trailer now released.
The 1992 original transported the events of Clive Barker’s book from
Liverpool to Cabrini-Green in Chicago, a deprived public housing development, and became one of the decade’s most acclaimed horror films. It’s the story of an urban legend that comes to life, of a slave who was brutally murdered who returns when you say his name five times in a mirror.
