Blade: Trinity (2004) and Candyman (1992)

In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a pair of films that faced their challenges, but one came out of it all better than the other.

A third Blade film was announced even before Blade II had arrived in cinemas. David S Goyer took on the director's chair, but to say the production had a few problems would be quite the understatement. Gulp.

Things were a little smoother with 1992's Candyman, although writer/director Bernard Rose was first approached about a different Clive Barker story to adapt. But three different financiers meant there were differing opinions about the film behind the scenes - and distribution wasn't entirely straightforward either.

Stories of both are told in this episode.
