&While many of producer David Kirschners recent movies with his partner Corey Siniega, such as the biopic Miss Potter and the upcoming ;b>Martian Child, might not necessarily be Shock-worthy, Kirschners second film, Childs Play roughly twenty years ago kicked off a popular horror franchise that has inspired many imitations and four sequels.
ShockTillYouDrop had a chance to interview Kirschner for his upcoming movie where he surprised us by announcing that they were working on another Chucky movie, which would be a remake of the original Childs Play. (But surely, we all knew this was coming, right?)
Were discussing it with Don Mancini, who has written all of them with us from the beginning, Kirschner told us. The next one were going to do is were going back and remaking the first one and even pushing it further and making a very terrifying version of the first one, which is pretty scary as it is.
We havent come up with anybody yet, he replied when asked whether they were looking at any of todays cutting-edge horror directors. We havent really discussed that. Weve just been working on stories, so I think thatll be a fun process when we get there.
Of course, the age-old question of Why? immediately came up. Look at Halloween he quickly responded. Its kind of commerce to keep the franchise going, and another reason to go see it. For me, its exciting, because the first one was really scary and then from there, we kind of my favorites are 1 and 4. I love 4, it really makes me laugh and I think Jennifer Tilly is so great, but just the idea of going back to where we were the first time around and I think for me, its almost 30 years later for me as a filmmaker from where I started to now, and the idea of taking some skill that maybe I didnt possess then and putting it towards the next film, I think could be exciting.
Would they possibly use the same script? I think it would be pretty close to it, thats for sure, but theres some other things that were exploring also, and some twists that we dont want the audience to expect, as far as a couple deaths, where you think youre going in one way and youre going to go in another way as a result of knowing it and it being such a popular franchise. These new developments may include learning more about Charles Lee Ray, although theyre discussing whether series regular Brad Dourif will be back in that role and once again voicing Chucky.
But dont just assume that because were well into the 21st Century that Chucky will be any sort of CG motion-captured creation. Itll be an animatronic doll, like we do all of them, but animatronics have grown from when we did the first one 20 years ago. We just did the commentary on the 20th Anniversary of it, and all the stars, the little kid Andy Barkley, all of that, so thats coming out in January/February.
