 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here It's been a long time since I've done an update on anything regarding the child's play franchise keeping up with our favorite killer at all Chucky, so I'm gonna be talking about some tidbits that we got Answers to regarding the upcoming child's play TV series over the past couple of days and this recent watch party They went on on Twitter with the original film Don Mancini had a watch party and he answers some questions He also sat down with sci-fi wire recently disclosing some details about the child's play TV series now me personally I've been I haven't really kept up to date with the Chucky TV series anything regarding news with it that much Outside of the fact that I haven't really been too up-to-date on it and keeping up with it Since I stopped writing for a screen rant a lot of a lot of you might not have known this and if you're familiar with Screen rant. Yes, I used to write for screen rant I haven't really been keeping that much up with News regarding the Chucky TV series since then but recently Don Mancini sat down with Sci-fi wire to talk about some things I want to go over the brief synopsis that we know for the TV series before I jump into that as far as we know right now The synopsis for the child's play TV series are tend to be titled Chucky at this point because of the remake that MGM did last year They want to differentiate themselves from that The synopsis reasons follows after a vintage Chucky doll turns up turns up at a suburban yard sale An idyllic American town is thrown into chaos As a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town's hypocrisies and secrets now I'm really excited to see Chucky in a setting like this again Or something very stranger things asked where we're in a small town. We have something causing havoc in the town Something that's really speaking of course to the 80s because I know for for a fact that the series will be following a group of young kids Possibly I believe my Don Mancini has has disclosed that the TV show is going to be following a group of kids 12 12 year old kids if I'm not mistaken or middle schoolers who are going to be dealing with this doll in their town and then One thing I want to speak about was how during this sit down with sci-fi wire Mancini Don Mancini Who we know is the creator of Chucky? He recently disclosed some tidbits about Chucky possibly Interacting with the technology of the 21st century and how we can have Chucky interacting with social media and how His his influence on social media could be something that's explored in this TV series And I think that would be very interesting to see I'm just gonna get into what Don Mancini had to say regarding that He said this he said this following statement One thing I can probably safely say is that it is that it's a look at what it means to be a kid today in the 21st century as Distinct from what it was like to be a kid in the 1980s when we first showed up on the scene That's one thing I think people can look forward to and thinking about how does Chucky operate in a world where kids spend so much of their Time on social media for example playing video games interacting with one another on social media as opposed to in a park Which is what we might have depicted 30 years ago I think the prospect of seeing Chucky Sharpen his skills and add to his toolbox some of the technical goodies that we have at our disposal now That's something I think people will find pretty interesting. So just speaking in regards to that if we have Chucky Ruining people's lives by let's say he's he's leaking people's news or something or he's leaking some type of Sensitive information pertaining to them that they thought was hidden but Chucky being the the Well versatile doll that he is because we we've seen him do do things that involve technology in the past But we're we're in a whole new level of a whole new era of Technology and things means everything being a smart device I know in the child's play remake it essentially was Technology coming back to bite us in the butt But in this TV series Diamansini wants it to again be about a doll that's gonna use it use it against us because in the in the remake that we got The doll itself was a new piece of technology. This is gonna be a vintage doll using something that's Newer than him against us. I think that would be a very interesting thing to see for us to see the Chucky doll Ruining people's lives via Facebook via Twitter via social via any type of social media platform Instagram Twitter Leaking people's news potentially, I don't know how something like that would have been leaking text messages maybe even having a live stream of sorts and Maybe this live stream he this live stream broadcast could be brought on from the fact of someone catching Chucky on video because I know in in the past Specifically the film I'm talking about is curse of Chucky Chucky makes mention of the fact that Maybe it's not cursed but seed one of those two movies he makes mention of the fact that he knows He is a legend and he's a well recognized Like he's basically a well recognized folklore at this point because not a lot of people know if the doll is alive or not He's basically an urban legend an urban legend that also has several movies Made after him if I'm not mistaken in Cedar Chucky There was a movie in production called Chucky ghost psycho I don't know if production actually got shut down on that movie if Chucky ever actually got his full feature film But the character itself does have a huge following in that universe people are aware of its existence Some people believe the stories of that Andy Barkley is told some people don't believe the stories But with these constant killer doll Rumblings going on and people constantly blaming Chucky There's got to be a lot of online forums that talk about this that could be brought to light in this TV series We're gonna get to spend a lot more time possibly died going into more details regarding that What is the extent of the discussion regarding Chucky and his influence in in the indie? Indie population in this universe Also another thing diamond senior talked about was us of course having some returning characters now I personally would love to of course have Andy Barkley back once again played by Alex Vincent have Have Christine the least returned to play Kyle and he's a step sister from child's play to a lot of people love child's play To I honestly think child's play to is right up there in the top three of the Chucky movies Also what diamond senior recently spoke about in this sit-down with sci-fi wire was adding more weapons to Chucky's arsenal We've seen Chucky use a variety of different things. He's been he's used in acts before He's used of course a knife. He's used a Trash truck I'm gonna call it a a dumpster truck when he crushed somebody in child's play three He's he's used a variety of different things. He's used Just a plethora of different items at his at his arsenal. He's of course strangled people with with With I'm just gonna call it rope. He strangled people before because we know it in life Charlie Ray was the Lakeshore strangler Another thing I want to get into this is brought on to me by 3c films 3c films gonna give a shout out to him He's the one who put this idea in my head. I kind of liked what he was talking about I wanted to go into my own thoughts on that This town that Chucky is going to where he's gonna be Terrorizing these kids and every inhabitant in the town possibly who is a 12-year-old kid or somebody who's in that demographic Who's to say that this town isn't Chucky's hometown Charlie Ray's hometown the town that he grew up in maybe he's going back to this town to of course seek out something that is Something that's been bothering him for this past couple of years something that has been plaguing him something that he wants justice with Maybe we get a lot more details on who he was as a person as a kid if this is in fact his hometown I feel like that's what ultimately is gonna be what happens. I really appreciate 3c films Kind of kind of bringing that to light I don't know if he was the first one to address it, but that's kind of something I don't feel like anyone has really thought about the town that we that we are going into for this Chucky TV series could be Charles Lee Ray's hometown We might get to learn a lot of other things about this character add more depth to the character of Chucky Maybe put some maybe put some understanding behind why he is the way that he is Which I see nothing wrong with that I see I see nothing wrong with with certain characters having a backstory and finding out why they tick the way that they do Chucky is a character like that. Any any type of human character like that and Somebody like like like the character of Charles Lee Ray or a Freddy Krueger Where their backstory was already embedded in the original film I don't see any issue with digging a little bit deeper into it a lot of people find an issue with digging into the Into the history of Michael Myers because from the jump Michael Myers has always been always been a mystery That's kind of been the shtick. We don't we don't need to know what makes him tick But with characters like Chucky and Freddy where we've had tidbits about their their upbringing and their backstory Since the very beginning I see no issue with diving into a little bit more to get a better understanding of why Chucky is the way that he is Another thing Don Mancini actually confirmed is that we're gonna get a hundred percent puppetry for the most part The series will utilize pretty much one hundred percent puppetry. That's what he said He thinks is important to keep Chucky as as as a practical puppet puppet effect Partly because it's important for the actors to have something to respond to on set all he also thinks is important that Chucky Have a feel of a doll of a puppet. He should be a little a little bit her key jerky I'm really excited about that of course I expect them to use some type of CGI, but the fact that we're gonna get a hundred percent puppetry for the most Part as he's claiming I'm really excited to see that if I'm not mistaken though they've said this in the past and It wasn't really a hundred percent puppetry It was a lot more CGI than what we were led to believe it was going to be but we'll see what happens with the Chucky TV series I'm really excited about it I'm really excited to see what happens with Chucky where we take this character and how we can make him relevant in The 21st century on on the small screen and how everything will play out with this TV series Who exactly our characters are gonna be because I think right now the only cast members that everyone is gonna be aware of Of course will be Brad Dorff returning to play Chucky Jennifer Tilly of course Nina the character of Nina who I believe is played by Brad Dorff's daughter I can't I can't think of her name at the moment Or Nika her name's Nika, but I can't think of the actress's name at the moment But she's Brad Dorff's daughter. She'll be returning.
