After delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nia DaCosta’s Candyman remake will finally be released this summer. Promotion for the film is starting to ramp up, with a new poster and trailer recently dropping online.

The Candyman poster is fairly simple, with the words “say it” with the film’s title at the bottom (referencing a key line from the film) highlighted by their yellow coloring on the back of the dark jacket worn by the figure with his back turned to the camera, holding a hook with a bee on it.

The trailer demonstrates that Candyman’s origin story will be different from the original movie, and probably gives a little too much away about the story. The highlights are the moments told via black cutout puppetry, adding a creepy but stylistic flair to the proceedings.

Candyman Synopsis

Candyman

In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, Anthony and his partner move into a loft in the now gentrified Cabrini. A chance encounter with an old-timer exposes Anthony to the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to use these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, he unknowingly opens a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence.
