UPDATED: Child's Play Remake in the Works

While many of producer David Kirschner's recent movies with his partner Corey Siniega, such as the biopic Miss Potter and the upcoming Martian Child, might not necessarily be "Shock-worthy", Kirschner's second film, Child's Play roughly twenty years ago kicked off a popular horror franchise that has inspired many imitations and four sequels.

ShockTillYouDrop.com 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 Child's Play. (But surely, we all knew this was coming, right?)

"We're discussing it with Don Mancini, who has written all of them with us from the beginning," Kirschner told us. "The next one we're going to do is we're 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."

UPDATE: A bit of a misunderstanding from our original conversation, which David was nice enough to rectify. They've been talking to Don Mancini, writer of all the films and director of Seed of Chucky, to actually direct the remake, something that was a bit unclear. David told us, "Don has been my partner from the beginning of this franchise and has some very very creepy and scary ideas about going back to the
original and giving it some more bite that we believe will satisfy the appetite of today's horror fans (and loyal Chucky fans, as well.) Our hope and plan is that Don will write and direct the film and he and I look forward to getting the studio on board with us asap."

Wat was the supposed to mean?!?!

Yes, and if you do see them and agree with movieaddict, then I'm guessing that you're either:

13 or;

An idiot.

13 year olds know how to write. It's not the age it's just that the person is mentally incompetent when it comes to grammar skills.

Sod all to do with spelling or grammar.....

If you think that the remakes of either Halloween or Friday The 13th were better than the originals, then you're 13 or an idiot.

If I had to take a guess I think that honeykid either called you 13... Or an idiot.

The remake is currently in production. Lars Klevberg (Polaroid) is directing with Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury) having written the script. The new Chucky is a smart-doll whose been reprogrammed by a very ticked-off and suicidal worker. Don Mancini has nothing to do with the new film but because MGM owns the rights to only the 1988 film (Universal owns the sequels), they have been allowed to remake it.


Gabriel Bateman is the new Andy Barclay with Aubrey Plaza as his mother and Brian Tyree Henry as Det. Mike Norris.


Mancini will continue his story arc via a television series and eventually more straight to DVD sequels. From what it sounds like, this may just be a one-off.
