Jordan Peele is working on a 'Candyman' sequel and frankly we need this now
Remember Candyman? If you happen to have grown up in the 90s -- or even if you're just a horror fan -- chances are you'll have heard of it.
Based on Clive Barker's short story "The Forbidden", the 1992 movie about a killer who can be summoned when someone says his name five times has become something of a cult classic in the genre.
Well, splendid news -- Jordan Peele is working on a sequel to it. The screenplay has been written by Peele and Win Rosenfeld, Deadline reports, and Nia DaCosta (whose directorial debut, Little Woods, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year) is going to direct.
The news has been confirmed on Twitter by Peele, Rosenfeld, DaCosta, and Peele's company Monkeypaw Productions.

The film will be set in the same neighbourhood as the original, and Deadline reports it will be a "spiritual sequel". It's set to come to US cinemas on June 12, 2020.
Time to start getting excited.
