IFC Midnight Trailer for ‘The Possession of Emma Evans’ (aka ‘Exorcismus’)
Manuel Carballo’s terrible The Possession of Emma Evans (Exorcismus) will premiere tomorrow on VOD courtesy of IFC Midnight, and inside you’ll find our previous released 6 clips, along with the official US trailer. I highly recommend avoiding it at all costs. Starring Sophie Vavasseur (Evelyn), Stephen Billington (Resident Evil), Richard Felix (Fragile), Douglas Bradley (Hellraiser) and Tommy Bastow, tired of a family that she feels is too oppressive and authoritarian, Emma Evans, a troubled and unsatisfied teen in full pursuit of her identity, decides one day to do something to end this situation. To achieve this, Emma unleashes her deepest desires, not realizing that it’s a trigger too dark and powerful forces that she is unable to control, bringing the horror and tragedy into the Evans home. Emma just wanted to be free… but there are things you should never wish for.
Don Mancini is hard at work scripting a brand new Chucky movie, which will take the franchise is an unexpected new direction according to the voice behind killer doll Chucky.
Don’t expect the new film to pick up from where the series left off, Academy Award nominee Brad Dourif teased at the Creep I.E. Cinema panel hosted by Bloody Disgusting this weekend.
“If I know Don, I would say what he’s going to do is something completely different that I hadn’t thought of, that nobody had thought of,” the actor tells the audience.
It’s worth noting that the upcoming film is still in early development. So much so that Dourif has heard multiple different ideas for the ninth film in Mancini’s Chucky universe. “There is actually going to be another film made,’ Dourif explains, “I’ve heard maybe three pitches —that’s not a detail, and I’m not saying what they are—but they’re all different.”
Emmy nominee Fiona Dourif was on hand to prevent her dad from spoiling any plot details, of course.
As we reported back in April, Don Mancini is aiming to make Chucky scary again in the brand new Chucky movie that will finally bring the (original) killer doll back to the big screen. Mancini’s plan is to return the franchise to the tone of Curse of Chucky as well as the first two original Child’s Play movies, once again dialing back the comedy and hijinks.
Brad Dourif voiced Chucky in all of the original Child’s Play movies as well as more recent installments Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky, and all three seasons of the TV series. And Dourif doesn’t plan on giving the character to anyone else anytime soon. He recently told the crowd at Spooky Empire, “Nobody’s doing Chucky but me.”
Stay tuned for more updates on all things Chucky.
