As is the trend in Hollywood these days, the beloved horror/comedy franchise is slated for a remake, but luckily the creator is smart enough to figure out what makes the series work and stick with it by hiring character actor Brad Dourif to continue to voice the psychotic doll Chucky.
From AICN:
“who would you get that’s better? I mean with Chucky so much of it… and David [Kirschner, the producer] and I talk about this a lot, that because he’s a puppet, there’s an aspect of him that feels like he’s an animated character, so his voice is such an immense part of it as well as what he looks like. It’s almost like recasting Homer Simpson or something. If you could recast it, you would want the actor to sound kind of like it, but it would feel weird to just be completely different I think.
Bride of Chucky is one of my favourite horror/comedies of recent years, full of over the top gore and horror in-jokes, as well as the cheesy one liners Chucky is famous for, but apparently with the new remake the creators are doing away with the comedy aspect of the series and making it a full on horror. Personally I think the idea of a doll posessed by a dead serial killer is inherantly funny, and I can’t see it working very well if they take themselves too seriously, but maybe that’s just me. We’ll find out Fall 2010 at the earliest.

Am I happy that they are remaking Child’s Play? No. Am I happy that the same person is back to play Chucky again? Yes. All I ask is please don’t disappoint me like The remakes of Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street did.
This movie will be ok being that noone is playing chuckie but brad they should have left nightmare on elm street alone i think they should leave this one alone as well because its a classic i mean cmon but then again hey brad is gonna be on it lets go brad make this movie #1 noone is better than him in this role
omg..now that’s wuz up a new chucky movie..naw a remake of the original childs play man can’t wait cuz the last two chucky movie were horrible,,time to take it bac to the roots
Brad Dounf is only is good for chucky’s voice noone else could do it better than brad
THE MOVIE WILL SUCK
REAL BAD
Whatever Joel, Rob Zombie’s Halloween was awesome. This movie on the other hand will probably be pretty bad.
U sound like a hater
Be glad when they show the first child’s play trailer
bring back tiffany!!! (jennifer tilly!!!)
theres no chucky without jennifer tilly!
man i really loved the series i think it should saty with the comady and they should NOT remake them >;[
i think this is gonna be epic, it was awesome first time round and i think that a reboot can only be a good thing. Bring back traditional horror but just a updated version
Im tired of them making remakes to classics. I think that if they think harder then we wholdnt have so many remakes for example shun levy directed real stell looking at that robot boking thing from the 80s or
