Here’s Your First Look at the New Chucky Doll from the Upcoming ‘Child’s Play’ Remake
Filming has begun on MGM and Orion’s Lars Klevberg-directed remake of Child’s Play, which will feature a new take on Chucky that is *not* being voiced by Brad Dourif, nor does the film have anything to do with Don Mancini or his original franchise… which is still going strong. Instead, it aims to start a whole new franchise, with a newly upgraded version of Chucky.
Orion showed off our first look at the new Chucky today, and the doll, well, it looks pretty damn similar to the one we all know and love. Why, we ask. Why?! Check him out below.
Aubrey Plaza (Life After Beth) and Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”) will lead the remake’s cast, along with Gabriel Bateman (Lights Out) as our new Andy Barclay.
Here’s the official plot synopsis:
“Child’s Play follows a mother (Plaza) who gives her son (Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature.”
Early plot details referred to the new Chucky as a “robot doll,” reportedly a doll that gets hacked by a factory worker to remove its limitations and make it a killer.
Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury 2) wrote the script.
David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith (IT) are producing.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
