Alleged Plot Details Suggest How Different the Killer Doll in the ‘Child’s Play’ Remake Will Be

Published

on

Let’s briefly recap here. While Don Mancini and Universal continue the original Child’s Play franchise with a television series and potentially more films, MGM has taken it upon themselves to entirely remake the franchise, with a brand new Child’s Play on the way from director Lars Klevberg. At this time, we don’t know if the killer doll in the remake will even be named Chucky, but it seems it’ll be a very different doll. Early plot details referred to it as a “robot doll,” and ComicBook.com provides more insight into all that today.

According to the site’s unnamed sources, the new Chucky is “a defective ‘Buddy doll’ whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.” They add that the doll apparently gets re-programmed by a Chinese factory worker, who ends up committing suicide after removing the doll’s limitations… for whatever reason.

Again, we have no idea what the doll is actually going to look like or if it will be named Chucky, but it seems 100% certain that Brad Dourif will *not* be voicing the character.

Last we heard, filming is set to begin next month on Klevberg’s film, wherein Andy, a twelve-year-old boy, and his friends face off against a robot doll on a killing spree.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights.
