Shock Till You Drop sources says Sony is contemplating a remake of CANDYMAN.

Shock learned today Sony and the rights holder to the film franchise - which has spanned three installments - are mulling over plans to resurrect the hook-handed, pimp coat wearin' urban legend made famous by Tony Todd. It's all "early talks

...says THIS ARTICLE at Shock. The original "Candyman" was played by Tony Todd, who further secured his place in the Geek lexicon by appearing on BABYLON 5, STARGATE SG-1, STAR TREKs NEXT GEN/VOYAGER/DEEP SAPCE NINE (different characters), 24, and more. Apparently, some consideration has been given to making Candyman white. It's good to know even supernatural, urban legendy uberkillers are subject to franchise killing Political Correctness.
