Kitsos and Consiglio are both represented by The Characters Talent Agency. Aaron Schmidt and Chris Ferguson are executive producing. The film is produced by David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith under their KatzSmith Productions banner ( It, It: Chapter 2). Klevberg directs from Tyler Burton Smith’s ( Kung Fury) screenplay based on the original movie. The cast also includes Beatrice Kitsos (FOX’s “The Exorcist”), Ty Consiglio ( Wonder) and Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”). You’ll also find Buddi wallpapers (below) and more goodies over on the site.Ĭhild’s Play follows a mother (Aubrey Plaza) who gives her son (Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature. Over on, you can learn all about the Buddi dolls, which come equipped with a “highly intricate cloud-backed voice recognition engine capable of identifying speech,” as well as “20 sensors and cameras which provide detailed realtime information about its environment.” Buddi comes equipped to fluently converse in both English and Spanish. So here’s how I would rank each Chucky movie and where I’d place the 2019 film: 8.The classic “Good Guys” doll gets an upgrade in next year’s Child’s Play remake from MGM and Orion, now known as “Buddi” (but don’t worry, the killer doll is still named Chucky).įrom what we’ve heard, one of the Buddi dolls will essentially get hacked to become a killing machine (no Charles Lee Ray or Brad Dourif in this one), and a new website for the film that was just launched previews the high-tech new Buddi doll that becomes the new Chucky. I do wish it was more of a follow-up to the original series and got more of the love and budget that those original films deserve. That’s not to say it didn’t have some story issues, and I feel like the gore was too much at some points, but altogether I had a fun time watching this movie. I was able to separate it from the franchise and just enjoy it as a solo horror film. It could have just been a movie about a killer doll. There were enough changes where it didn’t need to be a Child’s Play movie. It didn’t dismiss what had happened in the Don Mancini films, but it did kind of exist in an alternate universe. And honestly, I thought the movie was pretty good. Why can’t I just like both? And that’s the mentality I went into watching the 2019 film. Either you’re supporting the original Child’s Play films or the reboot, which is weird. It kind of made you feel like you have to take a side. I saw some comments where people were refusing to see or acknowledge the movie. And I think that’s why people were upset by the 2019 reboot, more so than something like the Texas Chainsaw reboot. I respect all he’s done and appreciate it when there’s one overarching vision for a franchise. I know some people weren’t thrilled that they were doing this remake without Don Mancini since he’s been with the franchise from the beginning, creating the character and directing some of the movies. So when they announced a reboot or a remake, I really didn’t have a horse in the race. I think I saw the first five movies by the time I was a teenager but thought they were kind of goofy. I saw the 2019 Child’s Play movie and wanted to talk about how it fits in with the franchise, if, in my humble opinion, it should continue, and let you know where I’d place the film in my Chucky ranking. Hey Jack, I’m back! And with me, another speed art.
