Fun Animated Video Highlights the 30 Year Evolution of Chucky in the ‘Child’s Play’ Franchise
Chucky and the Child’s Play franchise have evolved a whole lot over the years, and a new video from Tell It Animated chronicles that 30 year journey from Child’s Play to, well, Child’s Play.
The pint-sized killer doll first came onto the scene back in 1988 and will next be seen in a remake of that original classic, and the road from original to remake has been, if you’re asking me, hugely entertaining. With Don Mancini as the creative architect, the franchise has remained true to its film-to-film continuity, while also changing with the times in fresh ways.
Running just over three minutes long, Tell It Animated’s “Evolution of Chucky” video chronicles it all, highlighting important story beats and the character’s visual evolution from ’88 to ’19.
Don’t forget: a Chucky TV series is also on the way from Mancini!
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
