An Update on the Next ‘Chucky’ Movie!

Published

The last we talked about Chucky 7 was back in February when Don Mancini, who created the Child’s Play franchise and directed the previous two entries, confirmed that Jennifer Tilly – who first made an appearance in the 1998 classic Bride of Chucky as Chucky’s partner in crime, Tiffany – would be returning in the seventh film.

Now, while we patiently wait for official news, Mancini is teasing once again. With the first season of his “Channel Zero”  now completed, it looks like he’s turned his focus on bringing Chucky and Tiffany back for more mayhem. In the below tweet we learn that Mancini is currently storyboarding the film, which also means that he’s got a script to reference. We also see Glen – Chucky and Tiffany’s son – being used in the photo as a body double for Chucky (to clarify, Glen is not confirmed to be in the film, he is just being used as a stand in for Chucky in the playful photo). Still no word on when the film will begin shooting and if Universal has even given it the green light yet, but we do know that Tilly is returning as is Fiona Dourif (Brad’s daughter), who made her debut in the 2013 Curse of Chucky.

While A Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween and Texas Chain Saw Massacre have all been remade, Universal’s Child’s Play continues to remain one of the only in-canon horror franchises, even though the 2013 Curse of Chucky went straight to VOD.

Chucky is one of the most iconic of all horror slashers. He first appeared in Tom Holland’s 1988 Child’s Play, which was penned by Mancini. Things came full circle in Curse of Chucky when Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) presumably got his revenge, while Tiffany made a shocking appearance in human form. How will it all come together? That’s what we have to look forward to with Child’s Play 7.

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge

Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.

Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.

The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”

Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.

Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”

Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.

Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.

A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
