Dourif had some interesting things to say about the future of Chucky and it appears there are two projects in the works that will attempt to revive the franchise, including the long-mooted Child’s Play remake.
Moviehole was on the scene and says:
There are reportedly two Childs Play projects in the works: a remake and a spin-off of sorts involving Chuckys immediate family, Revenge of Chucky…Dourif confirmed that hes involved in both projects but has not seen a script for the Childs Play remake yet.
Unfortunately, not much more was said about this Revenge of Chucky project, which is too bad because that’s the real news here.
The Child’s Play remake is being spearheaded by series stalwarts Don Mancini and David Kirschner who are aiming to make a “scarier” take on the original film. Mancini is reportedly on board to direct as well as write.
Alas, when MGM when bankrupt, it took a bit of momentum out of the remake a few years back, however, now that the studio is getting back on its feet, perhaps there will be renewed interest in the killer doll.
