Fangoria got the chance to chat it up with Tony Todd at the Weekend of Horrors, where Todd’s promoting his latest flick SHADOW: DEAD RIOT. While there, he also shed some light on other possible projects in the works.
Here’s a bit of what Todd had to say about a possible fourth CANDYMAN movie, as well as his work on the next JEKYLL AND HYDE:
“There are rumors about another CANDYMAN. It’s a ‘vs.’ film. I don’t know if it’s going to be Chucky or who!… I love CANDYMAN, but I like to do different things, y’know? I’m getting ready to do a film called MERCY STREET, on the 10th of June. It’s a coming-of-age story like SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER. I’ll also be doing a movie called TOURNAMENT OF DREAMS, where I play a coach for a girls’ basketball team….I’m getting ready to do JEKYLL AND HYDE. An updated version written for me by John Buechler.”
Sounds like this kat is way busy these days- and I suppose it’s cool he’s stretching out his career to more than just horror… but come on, man! You’re Tony Todd! You Are Horror! At least there might be another CANDYMAN, but instead of Chucky, wouldn’t Pinhead be a better opponent? And can’t you just see Todd as the troubled Dr. Jekyll? The guy was made for that role.
