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.

If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.

Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!

Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”

Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.

Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.

“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”

“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”

We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
