Jordan Peele in talks to remake Bernard Rose's 1992 cult classic 'Candyman'
Jordan Peele won the Oscars this year for best original screenplay in 'Get Out', and is in talks to produce 'Candyman'
After etching his name in history by joining the elite list of directors to win the Oscars in their directorial debut, 'Get Out' helmsman Jordan Peele is probably eyeing to produce the upcoming remake of Bernard Rose's cult classic 'Candyman', adapted from Clive Baker's short story 'The Forbidden'. Chances are, Peele might even direct the movie.
While the film will be produced under the Monkeypaw Productions banner, it will probably build upon the horrifying conclusions that were left unanswered towards the end of the original movie. The horror classic trailed Helen Lyle, played by Virginia Madsen, a Chicago grad student who studies the legend of the Candyman (played by Tony Todd).
