Stephen King “F’ing Loved” the ‘Child’s Play’ Remake
One of this year’s most surprising horror movies so far was Lars Klevberg’s new take on Child’s Play for Orion, a remake few really wanted – after all, Don Mancini’s original franchise is still going strong with a TV series on the way – but most seemed to have a whole lot of fun with. And when I say “most,” I mean not only yours truly but also Stephen King!
Entertainment Weekly asked King to list off a movie, TV series and book that he recommends for horror fans this Halloween season, and Child’s Play ’19 was the movie he picked!
“I didn’t go see it in the theaters, because I thought, ‘Well, this is just another warmed-over sequel’. Mark Hamill does the voice of Chucky and I just fucking loved that movie,” King told the site. “I laughed and I cried at the things in there. Everybody who’s in the movie does a terrific job. It’s a smart script and it’s just a load of fun. It really is. It’s gruesome as hell.”
He continued, “There’s this scene where this guy is [laughs] hanging some Christmas lights on his house, and Chucky does something to the ladder, and he falls off and he lands on his feet, and his bones come right out the side [now convulsing with laughter] of his legs. And you know, it’s not funny, but at the same time it is funny.”
Klevberg’s Child’s Play is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
