Chucky Turns 20 - Remake in the Works
I’ve never had any interest in the Chucky movies (Child’s Play), but it’s the 20th Birthday of the sicko, and tomorrow, they’re releasing Child’s Play: Chucky’s 20th Birthday Edition on DVD.
ShockTillYouDrop.com talked with filmmakers Don Mancini and David Kirschner, and the topic of a remake came up:
“Naturally, I don’t want to say too much,” said Mancini. “A lot of the Chuck mythology was reworked by David and Tom Holland — specifically the voodoo aspect, but also the specific detail of Chucky being possessed by the soul of a serial killer.”
More after the jump…
Mancini added that this is different from his script, where he was the living embodiment of the kid’s Id. “All of the stuff in the movie is such an intrinsic part of the mythology,” he said. “I think it would be misguided to stray from that too far. We have ways and ideas of making that darker — darker, we believe, than the original movie.”
Yikes. And what must it be like for a person to have their entire career about Chucky? That’s pretty much the case with Mancini. Check out the full interview here.
