PROJECT DETAILS:

While this fourth installment is no longer in development, a reboot described as a "contemporary and spiritual sequel" to the original film has moved foward and is currently in production. (8/22/19)

The project was in active development back in 2004, but likely never came to fruition due to licensing issues. Here's a quote from Tony Todd back in 2004: "That problem that is going on much like many backstage workings, is determining who owns the "CANDYMAN" franchise. Which is strange to me because it's Clive's Character? But in dividing the first "CANDYMAN's" profits, the ownership went from Propaganda, to Sony, to Columbia, then to Artisan. Then Artisan became Lions Gate. As soon as it's all straightened out and it's determined who has to be paid before the film even gets written, then the movie will move forward."

With the success of Freddy Vs. Jason, the studio reportedly spoke to Clive Barker about possibly making this a versus film, specifically with another one of Clive's franchises -- Hellraiser. Luckily Clive was against the idea.

We would have seen a snow/blizzard element added to the film.

Once rumored to be budgeted at $25-million (had it actually been made).

Clive Barker was to serve as a consultant and executive producer.

Tony Todd revealed at a Movies Convention in LA years ago that the film would likely come out of New Line rather than Artisan this time.

It was once said that this was going to be a stand-alone film and have no relation to the previous sequels.
