Nope.
It's fine. Let it be. The sequels went the way of the slasher while the first was a legit horror movie. Don't get me wrong, I love slashers, but the original "Candyman" was a very different animal. A few gory kills and jump scares, but it had a psychological edge to it. Plus, I can't imagine seeing it with any other music.
I agree that it would be interesting to see the story played out in this generation. If you don't know about the Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago and its history, I'd look it up. Its story has a lot to do with the racial/societal tension in "Candyman." I'd like to see a story like that told in modern times, but why does it have to be a reboot of an already good movie??? Make something new!
Admittedly, if Jordan Peele is onboard, it will probably be decent at least.
So tired of remakes/reboots...
