The Curse of Chucky

[HighFivingMF]

There have been parallel plans for both a Child's Play sequel and an all-over reboot. Anything to get killer doll Chucky back onto our screens and back into Universal's ledgers. Looks like the sequel has edged ahead and will be going into production first.

The Curse of Chucky has been written and will be produced and directed by Don Mancini, the man who came up with the series in the first place and has written or at least co-written every one of the films to date. Moviehole believe that production begins in Winnipeg this September.

I enjoyed the last couple of screwier, funnier Chucky films, but the emphasis this time, it's said, will be on making the series "scary again" - if indeed it was every scary in the first place. Exciting and fun, yes. Scary? I don't know about that. And I've got a thing about dolls.

Brad Douriff will once again lend Chucky his perfectly-suited voice, for storyline that sees the wee one terrorising a family in mourning.

The final girl, it seems, is to be Nica:
a young woman ? in a wheelchair since birth

Here's more of the plot premise:
When people start turning up dead, the fearless Nica discovers the culprit might be a ?strange doll? she was sent a couple of days earlier.

Main characters in the film include heroine Nica; Barb, Nica?s older sister, a manipulative, controlling cow that nags her handsome husband Ian and 5-year-old daughter Alice; and Jill, the ?smokin? hot? nanny that?s sleeping with Ian. There?s also fun supporting characters like a meddling priest, who will come face-to-cross with Chucky, and of course, the deceased woman, mother Sarah. But, as I said, it?s Chucky who takes king credit ? he?s who we want to see, and by golly, sounds like he?s back to his murderous ways.

The film is set to go straight to DVD and Blu-ray. If they start shooting as planned we could be seeing this next spring.

I am glad to have Chucky back, just for more of those doll effects, and Douriff's performance. Hopefully the film will deliver a lot more than that too.

I honestly am not sick of Chucky. That whole concept just cracks me up, and the fact that they just went straight satire with it is even funnier.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

not once did i ever see the Chucky films as horror. for me, they were just bloody dark comedies. i've always found Chucky hilarious.

 

[gohei_]

I remember seeing both these movies and the It movies when I was very young and I was scared out of my socks. Never saw anyone of them until about a year ago (I was 23 at the time) and I saw the first Child's Play again and I was still just as scared like when I was a little child.

They are owned by 2 different studios anyways so it probably will never happen, although it would have probably been somewhat successful had these 2 faced each other.

New Chucky is always good.t: Still waiting on Blu-Ray releases of the last 4.

 

[Webhead2006]

Just was reading the info on the film. Sounds pretty cool going back to the roots/back to basic and pretty much cut out bride/seed of chucky.

That last film was terrible. I'm glad Dourif is back and they are going to focus on the horror. It's a better idea than trying to reboot or remake Chucky. Straight to dvd is usually a bad sign but I'm still looking forward to this.

As long as it's not like the first one, I'm fine.

Same here. When I watched the first film again, I could see it more as a scary film, it had that vibe. Thinking that Andy might have been the one doing all those things and blaming it on the Chucky doll was kinda neat. Now the other two didn't have that factor, but as a child, they scared me a lot.

Then when I grew older, I watched Bride and Seed just out of curiosity (the latter I didn't finished to see entirely), and I just couldn't stand them. It isn't my kind of movie, I found them very obscene.

I'm not much a fan of these films, but I guess is a good thing they try a little more with the scary/horror formula than the satire approach.

Straight to DVD? *sigh*

 

[Darkness Falls]

chucky's laugh always makes me smile

That's where it belongs.

You mean the good one?

 

[Slushy]

I don't mind Chucky being funny, but I agree he's better being scarier. Kind of like Freddy.

 

[Lencho01]

You mean the good one?

Hahaha. I don't know why I wrote "first." I meant "last." I don't understand why they went the direction that they did with it.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I think the question on everyone's lips is "can it possibly live up to the high bar set by 'Bride of Chucky'?"

 

[ironwez20]

Bride was the first movie I saw. It was scary when I was like seven but now I don't know. Soooo why continue it from 3, will he have the scared face.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Chucky is such a silly concept. A killer doll. Please. I'd punt it out my window like a football.

Flame away.

I agree. However many movies he's had, most children have broken more dolls than Chucky's killed people. The fear is going in the wrong direction.

 

[Darthkush]

Straight to dvd? Ehh... It still might be good. I just hope they briefly explain what happened to Tiffany and Glen. Even if it's just one scene or flashback. Give it a reason to make some kind of continuity sense. Child's Play is good and Bride of Chucky is decent but the rest of these films aren't good(though 2 has it's moments). Let's hope this is more like the first film.

That's why he sneaks up on people though.

 

[terry78]

It's hard as hell to kill him though. You see his ass constantly coming back from dismemberment, being melted, gunshots, etc.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I'd drop a nuke on him. Walk out of a mushroom cloud, Chucky.

But seriously, how hard is it to outsmart him? Just don't keep any knives in the house.

But seriously, how hard is it to outsmart him? Just don't keep any knives in the house.

You're talking as if the character is aware Chucky's real, alive, and is coming for them. The first movie everyone thought it was the kid. The second movie it's a family that adopted him under the impression his Mother was crazy and told him a doll killed a bunch of people. The third was in a military school. All three of which only Andy was aware until the climax.

Bride took place on the road where they were hitching a ride with people that didn't know they were alive. In Seed they pretty much just set up camp in Jennifer Tilly's house and left to kill John Waters and other random people.


And he killed people with a bike pump and a ruler, a wine bottle and a mirror, a bathtub and a TV, a window, an exploding oven, bullets, and probably other ****. He was a serial killer beforehand, he's plenty creative when it comes to killing people. That and he can like... Bring his own knife.
