Exclusive Candyman Bonus Features Clip Featuring Nia DaCosta, Jordan Peele & Tony Todd

ComingSoon is thrilled to debut an exclusive clip from the bonus features of Candyman, available now on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD from MGM and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (order here). The clip features director and co-writer Nia DaCosta, co-writer and producer Jordan Peele, and the original Candyman aka Daniel Robitaille played by Tony Todd.

The clip is from the Say My Name featurette titled “Robitaille Story” as the group discusses the story of the horrific murder of Daniel Robitaille and how it’s the inspiration for the film, as well as its impact on the residents of Cabrini-Green, the provenance of this urban legend.

“For decades, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green were terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural, hook-handed killer,” reads the official synopsis. “In present day, a visual artist (Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; HBO’s Watchmen, Us, forthcoming The Matrix Resurrections) begins to explore the macabre history of Candyman, not knowing it would unravel his sanity and unleash a terrifying wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.”

The movie also stars Teyonah Parris (If Beale Street Could Talk, Wandavision, forthcoming The Marvels), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Generation, Misfits), and Colman Domingo (HBO’s Euphoria, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Assassination Nation).

Candyman is produced and co-written by Academy Award winner Jordan Peele and directed by rising filmmaker Nia DaCosta, the first Black woman to helm a #1 film at the box office.
