The Child’s Play franchise has spanned thirty years and seven films, now it’s headed to TV. Back in February, we reported that the franchise is getting its own series. Creator Don Mancini and David Kirschner have been developing the series and over Twitter today, Mancini teased the show with a GIF. pic.twitter.com/5Xqve1w88H — Don Mancini (@RealDonMancini) June 22, 2018 While Mancini didn’t reveal any new details, we do that is will pick up where left off and will have a tone that is “dark and disturbing.” It will not be a reboot, simply a continuation of Chucky’s story. “We plan to use Child’s Play in the title,” Mancini has stated. “We want to definitely signal that we are going dark, darker than ever before. It’s going to be very creepy.” We also know that actor Brad Dourif, the longtime voice of our favorite killer doll, will return for the series, which will feature 8 hour-long episodes.

Trailer Conjured Up For ‘Blair Witch’ Parody ‘The Claire Wizard Thesis’

Back in 1999, The Blair Witch Project debuted and went on to gross nearly 250 million dollars worldwide after being made on a meager $60,000 budget. Now, almost 20 years later, writer, actor, director, producer and self-proclaimed “hitmaker” Jacob Lewis has teamed up with Terror Films to deliver the “laziest excuse for a found footage film you will ever bear witness to”, The Claire Wizard Thesis. The brainchild of Australian actor and writer Ishak Issa, the horror comedy, his feature debut, centers on “a group of actors and crew into the Australian outback, led by aspiring filmmaker and ego-maniac Jacob Lewis.” “Lewis’ plan is to make his own version of the 1999 hit, with dreams of becoming the next big Hollywood director. There is only one problem – he has no idea what he’s doing and neither does any of the cast or crew.” Alex Dona stars as the pompous Jacob along with James Mitry as Jacob’s pissed off brother.

‘The First Purge’ Director Drew Inspiration From Real Life

This July we will witness The First Purge, from director Gerard McMurray. Recently he revealed that he found real-life inspiration that underscores the prequel’s theme of government’s abuse of power. Right now we’re living in a time where people are waking up and seeing how things really are and are needing to stand up and voice their opinion,” McMurray stated to Deadline. “As a filmmaker, showing those images and putting it out there gave me a voice to acknowledge what was going on and bring some awareness and spark dialogue about it.” He continued. “We see events that taking place in this country over the last year. I just try to use what was going on in the real world and trying to bring it into the film. I felt like horror films wrestle with the evils of real life, and that was one of the things I wanted to do with this film.”We’re fighting for real injustices [in the
