MGM Fast-Tracking A Child's Play Remake

MGM is fast-tracking the Lars Klevberg-directed project.

Chucky is ready to play again.

MGM is remaking Child’s Play, the 1980s horror movie centering on a toy doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer, with It producers David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith.

MGM is fast-tracking the project, which has Lars Klevberg, the Norwegian filmmaker behind the horror movie Polaroid, in the director’s chair as it heads toward a production start in Vancouver this September.

Tyler Burton Smith — who has written video games and wrote Kung Fury 2, now in production — penned the script.

Directed by '80s and '90s horror mainstay Tom Holland and co-created by Don Mancini, Child's Play told the story of a popular toy doll named Chucky that becomes possessed and terrorizes a single mom and her son, as the killer needs the son’s body to jump into before his transference to the doll becomes permanent.

(Not a spoiler alert: Chucky failure set up a franchise that got bloodier, and goofier, as it went along. Chucky even gets married and has a kids at one point.)

The new movie will be a homecoming of sorts as MGM’s United Artists was behind the original release. Others were released by Universal’s short-lived Rogue banner or by Universal Home Entertainment.

MGM had no comment. Aaron Schmidt will executive produce.

Klevberg directed Polaroid, which expands upon his short of the same name. The movie was to have been released by Dimension last year but because of the bankruptcy of The Weinstein Co., its was taken off the schedule.

Collider had this bit of info about the Child's Play Reboot:

Plot details remain under wraps so MGM hasn’t confirmed any of this, though Collider has learned that it’s a contemporary reboot involving a group of kids (a la Stranger Things), and a technologically-advanced doll that enters their world. That’s right, this doll will be able to do some cool stuff that may have been beyond Chucky 1.0’s grasp. It’s likely that the new doll will be named Chucky, though it’s possible that the doll will have a new name. We haven’t read the script, so we don’t know for sure. All we know is that the original Child’s Play followed Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer who casts a spell that traps his soul inside the body of a Good Guy doll, who is given the name of Chucky.

At this point, there is no cast confirmed, but if you’re really trying to reboot the Child’s Play franchise, you need a clean start, which is why I believe that MGM will recast the voice of the killer doll. Now, that doesn’t mean that Brad Dourif has voiced Chucky for the last time. If you’ll recall, Child’s Play creator Don Mancini recently took to Twitter to announce a Chucky TV series, so perhaps that’s why MGM has been a bit cagey about this project, which was developed under a code name in the hopes the studio could pull off a reveal similar to how Adam Wingard’s The Woods was later revealed to be a new Blair Witch movie. In any case, the Child’s Play rights situation is complicated, and Universal owns the home entertainment rights, though it seems like MGM has figured out a way to separate the rights, so that it can move forward with a movie on its own terms, from a new creative team, while Mancini can still do his TV series with his regular cast of Chucky collaborators. We’ll have to wait and see if it ever comes to fruition.

2017 No RT score 5.7 IMDB

I watched this blindly not looking anything up,something I'm doing a lot more these days. So when I saw Akiva Goldsman come up as director I wasn't holding out hope it was going to be good. But,I didn't mind this one. The first ~20 minutes feel like a different film. A better film. It's just a little girl alone,in a house with the world seemingly gone and an unseen monster stalking her. The only thing she has for comfort is her dead brothers rotting corpse.I really loved the start of the film. But then..... it turns into an entirely different film. It wasn't a terrible film,but I wish I could go back to the start and live in that story because it was far more interesting. It went from something original to something more generic.

Spoiler: ..

after the 20 minutes her parents show back up. slowly we learn that they abandoned her. And it's because she's the monster. She's possessed by something though it's never made clear what,except that she isnt alone it's happened to others its a global problem.

I didn't hate it,but some of the dialogue was way too on the nose and it completely lost the charm it had.

I left the film not hating it and thinking Akiva might be a better director than I thought he would be.

6/10

This is terrible. Really really terrible. Horrid acting,it looks like a lifetime movie of the week,awful dialogue and not an ounce of anything remotely interesting. The concept isn't the worst,the idea of having an open house and somebody staying behind to terrorize you. But man. This was laughable. When one character says to another "open houses are so strange,you just let people into your house and then realtors dont even check if people have left and just shut the lights off." I died. Don't waste your time. It's not even so bad it's good quality it's just how did this get made quality . Netflix should be embarrassed they produced this.

1/10

for the first time in awhile I think this is unnecessary. Hell the last two films that were released were a significant return to form. Loved both of them.
