I didn't even know they were remaking Child's Play.
We’ve already made it known what *we* think about MGM and Orion making their own remake of Child’s Play, despite Don Mancini‘s original franchise still actively churning out new sequels and even an upcoming television series, but what does Mancini himself have to say about all this? In a tweet today, Mancini said it all without really saying much at all.
“This is all I have to say on that subject,” Mancini tweeted in response to today’s reveal of the “new” Chucky from MGM’s upcoming remake. Included with the tweet was a photo of Mariah Carey holding up a sign that reads, “I don’t know her.” You can see that tweet below.
Original franchise star Christine Elise (Child’s Play 2 and Cult of Chucky) went a whole lot harder with her reaction to the remake last month, telling Horror Geek Life…
“I think it’s an unbelievably huge dikk move. I think it’s a douche move absolutely. I don’t know why they would fukk with a healthy franchise. To make a competing franchise with an existing, and like you said healthy, robust franchise is super douchey. And nobody from the original franchise is involved; they’re not gonna have Brad Dourif, they’re not gonna have Don, and they’re not gonna have any of us.”
The actress continued…
“I think the doll is going to be an artificial intelligence doll that goes haywire, so it’s not going to have the whole element of the serial killer possessing it, et cetera, so it’s not going to be, really, a Chucky film. So I don’t know why they’re just taking the title and stealing it and mucking up the waters. It’s especially douchey when you know that Don is developing a TV series and going back to using the title Child’s Play; not Bride of, Seed of, Curse of, Cult of Chucky, it’s going back to the Child’s Play name and it’s deep into development. So this MGM project could have, it hasn’t but it could have, really, easily derailed the TV show project, which would be devastating, because fingers crossed it happens and fingers crossed I’m involved in it, as much as I would like to be. It’s an opportunity here where Don can further a story he’s been telling for 30 years, but rather than tell it in 90-minute segments every three years or more, he can tell 10 hours of story in 10 weeks, he can get that much more story ahead. And if you’ve seen Cult and you see how Cult ends, you know how rich in story it is, there’s so many doors open now, and to so insensitively threaten the Don Mancini empire I think, is fukked up.”
For what it’s worth, remake director Lars Klevberg tells EW that he has nothing but respect for Mancini, and that he wishes Mancini had agreed to sign on as executive producer.
Everyone is a huge fan of Don Mancini,” says Klevberg. “[If] he was making this movie with us it would be really amazing, but we understand he has his reasons. We are extremely grateful to him and will always be. He’s someone I look up to.”

Near impossible.
Hearing him laugh in Blue Velvet, all I could think was "how the fukk did Chucky get in the car?"
I was watching Missippi Burning, and in the opening scene where the black guy gets murdered by the cops and they're all concealed in shadow except for Michael Rooker, as soon as I heard the Chucky laugh, I was like "Well, whoever Brad Dourif is playing, he was definitely in on it."
I've said this numerous times, and I'll say it again, Brad is such an underrated talent. Everyone who has worked with him, from Jack Nicholson to Sigourney Weaver to Ian McShane love him, and I don't understand why he doesn't get more big roles in Hollywood.
They mad.
Can't say I blame them though. When the creator of the franchise is still churning out well-received movies using the characters and has built an expansive universe like Mancini has done and a studio comes along wanting to do a reboot it is a total dikk move.
This is just strange.
The franchise is still going and has its niche lane. What is the purpose of this?
Never heard of a reboot while a franchise is still going on.
