The newCandymanis shrouded in secrecy, but here’s what we know: It’s both a rebootanda sequel. “In a broad sense of the word, this film will stand alone if you’ve never heard of a film calledCandymanand will dovetail in a pretty complicated and interesting way to the original,” said producer Ian Cooper. “In short, I think this will really fit in with what we’re doing withUsand did withGet Outin a way that will be circuitous.”
