Looks decent enough (Mark sounds amazing imitating Brad), but Chucky himself looks terrible lol.

Child's Play (2019) - Trailer #2
- Thread starter Violence Jack
- Start date
Ugh this again? Stranger Things was a mistake.
I'm going to be so upset if Chucky doesn't roast these damn kids.
Do we know, is this movie at least shooting for an R-rating? It's not Chucky if he's not spouting vile language non stop
I remember a 1993 slasher movie named "Ghost in the Machine", staring Karen Allen, that has a similar premise.
Although it's not an AI; the serial killer controlled all the appliances with his soul, or something cheesy like that.
Here's the trailer:
The killer even enters virtual reality
Truly ahead of its time.

A few creepy shots but looks like another average horror remake that fails to improve on the original.
He looks bad.
Also has the ability to control your devices? That is such a terrible idea, and is over-powered.
I'm gonna skip this hard.
Mark Hamill voice choice is great though.

So weird seeing her playing that kid's mother. She doesn't seem old enough or motherly enough whatever the hell that means š
The last thing I heard was, it will be a new story, set in the same universe as the movies and will be consistent with the existing mythology but they clearly weren't giving much away. I'd be surprised if they didn't address that cliffhanger in some way.
Found the info about what was said about the new series.
Syfy has set Nick Antosca, the creator of its horror anthology series, Channel Zero, to develop the canonical continuation series alongside original creator Don Mancini.
Is evil toy possessed by a serial killer any more simple a concept than evil AI possessing a toy and cars, and a whole store, and your boiler?
Yes, yes it is.
Yes, yes it is.
LOL You may have a point.

Recent horror movies have had good kid characters. It can work.

I wish they went with the less is more regarding the death scenes but oh well I'll try to keep an open mind.
This is doubly annoying because Chucky as a franchise is still thriving, and is debatably more interesting than it's ever been. The last two Chucky films have been genuinely very good. Remakes are inherently unnecessary, but this one is on a whole other level.
Because the original was written with a perfect understanding of voodoo, right?
Chucky found a way to possess multiple dolls and people at the same time, trapped Andy in the asylum, possessed Nica, left a few more Chucky's in the asylum, and left with Tiff and a possessed Tiffany doll. The original Chucky was reduced to just a head after a failed Andy ambush at the end of Curse of Chucky and Andy called Kyle from Childs Play 2 to keep torturing him
Honestly, it's a nice touch which shows me that this reboot is in good hands.
Chucky looks.... meh. But, I'll watch it when I get the chance still.
Still, I can't help but be reminded of the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th reboots which were lame bummers.
We'll see.
Chucky possessed Nica, murdered everyone and trapped Andy in the mental hospital, possibly making it look like he killed everyone, and escaped in her body with Tiffany.......
This looks off in some way. Chucky himself looks like terrible CGI. Not sure I like the angle of a group of kids getting together to take on Chucky. Not much in this trailer that's giving me a lot of hope for this to be anything more than "see it on a discount night two weeks after it comes out."
Implying I think the original is good! ;-)
I can still laugh at the remake leaning heavily into an overused cliche.
If Chucky is supposed to be a modern retail product, the original design is very much dated.
Im speaking more to making his face look different drastically different. Sure I get modernizing certain aspects like the hair quality, cloth quality, etc but there was no real reason to change his face other than for artistic reasons.
Well this is a doll from 2019 and looks closer to the that then what they decided to use.This is not the face of a retail product suited for 2019.
Even so, it still doesn't look good no matter what year it is.
Ha, same here! Except it was the beginning of Robocop 2 that popped into my mind!
Lethal response.
This is not the face of a retail product suited for 2019.
Yet it still looks better than the new design.
That's entirely subjective, and their aesthetic reasoning depends on the teenagers they want to attract to the box office. They want the mainstream box office dollars, not the niche horror fan dollars.
But personally, I still think it's as dated as Howdy Doody.
Wouldn't be so bad if the new doll actually looked good or scary but it's awful. There's just something off about it but not in a good, horror way.

This is not the face of a retail product suited for 2019.
The design of the Chucky doll was based off of the My Buddy dolls that were around in the mid-1980s. That's why it looks dated. I don't mind the new design, but it looks like a doll that already looks creepy instead of looking as innocent as the original design did initially.
That kid looks a bit old to be into dolls.
... says the 30 year old who plays videogames and reads comic books
She's a couple of years younger than Catherine Hicks was during the filming of the original, it could be the 80's style that gives you that impression? I do that sometimes.
Actually. She's 34 so he could be hers easily if she had him at 20 or something. I think it's just cause I've never seen her play anyone besides silly young women.
Remember people, the reason why certain things are changed are all of the "legally distinct" reasoning because the studio only owns the rights to the original name and film. The majority of the ideas and franchise they don't so everything is offbranded but close enough, but it's not about updating.
That kid still is way too old to be into dolls even a "smart" one.
Evil AI has already been played out for years now.
