This June Chucky’s back in the remake of Child’s Play. Not only has the third trailer been released, but a behind-the-scenes featurette has also surfaced revealing how the new doll is brought to life.
Lars Kleveberg‘s Child’s Play remake features a Chucky voiced by Mark Hamill. While the killer doll lurks in the shadows we get a taste of the movie coming to theaters this June, including his origin story. Originally known as “The Good Guy Doll” the red-headed killer has been rebranded as “Buddi”, an A.I. doll.
In the film, Aubrey Plaza plays the role of a mother who gives her son (Gabriel Bateman) a Buddi doll for his birthday, unaware of its sinister nature.
Beatrice Kitsos (“The Exorcist”), Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”), Ty Consiglio, and Carlease Burke (Shameless) also star in the film written by Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury).
Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg are producing under their KatzSmith Productions banner. Aaron Schmidt and Chris Ferguson are executive produced.
Child’s Play will open in theaters on June 21, 2019.
